Emachines T3642 In Reboot Loop. Vista. Chged To Boot From Cd In Bios But Won't
I woke up this morning to a continually rebooting desktop. I tried shutting it down and restarting, unplugging and restarting. I tried to boot from OS disc and got as far that time to "hit any button to boot from CD" or something like that, then I got about 6 lines of symbols and it stopped. Now I can't even get it to go that far. I tried to boot from a repair disc I uploaded and it won't boot from CD either. Just gets to the Boot from CD line then reboots again. F8 won't get me to safe mode. F12 takes to to a Nvidia boot attempt that fails. Used F2 and F10 to change boot order to CD first but it won't work. Help!
