"my computer will randomly restart...or sometimes not start at all"
This is typical of an overtaxed power supply, bad motherboard capacitors and bad ram.
Try this. For this size machine, something like a 450 Watt supply should be fitted, the case cover left off, the motherboard capacitors checked for bulging/leaks and exactly 512MB RAM.
The no-boot points to hardware issues you need to solve before you burnup a CPU or motherboard.

I just reinstaled XP home edition and now my computer will randomly restart...or sometimes not start at all (it sounds like jsut the fans turn on) when i resently started it up the BIOS setup utility came up and said that during the last bootup the system hung for improper CPU speed.
i have an AMD 1900+ on an Asus AZN226 and 768 mb ddr
it says the CPU speed is set at 1200MHz how do i fix this?
