This system is about 6 years old so old age just might be the possibility on why its being like this.

Everytime I boot up the machine and try to get into Windows, it freezes up and restart and stays in that constant cycle. At first I thought it was the RAM (its Rambus) but after running memtest86 for about 6 hours, I don't think that anymore.

I then took out a version of Damn Small Linux to see if I could even get the PC to boot (started to think it was with Windows) but I get an error while booting Linux to but atleast I got a message saying that "Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount boot fs on 03:01." So that pretty much means it hardware right?

Did a search of google on it but the problem was that the ways to repair it was on a machine installed with Linux.

Anyone have any idea out there?
