> Well if I could get that far to tell about any errors I'll consider
myself lucky.  I don't see any errors, it gets past the point where
you're given a chance to put in other parameters for booting and then
the screen flickers and reboots.  NO ERRORS NOTHING!  It reboots as
soon as it starts to boot the kernel.  I can't get into the system at
all.  And no it's not easy especially when you can't see
anything......

It sounds like you have some seriously b0rked hardware.  I would start
swapping memory/cpu/drives/mobo and so forth to see if this problem
follows any particular component.
