My computer keeps re-booting on me. I got to turn it on and it goes to the bios screen and then just re-boots again. I have a ghost on it so I re-loaded that and when I did it worked ok for about an hour but then the process started all over again with the re-boots. I have no idea why it is happening so I am looking for some suggestion or advice. I was thinking maybe a ram problem but I don't know. Any suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Maybe a virus? Try an Antivirus Scan. That might help

What are your specs. At wich point does it reboot. Any error messages?
Computer Re-boot
It's just a 850mhz p3 with xp. What does happen is when it does re-boot it asks if I want to re-boot in safe mode, normal windows, with our without networking. When I select any option, it doesn't matter, it will just re-boot again. I did scan it with a welchia tool from symantec and it didn't find anything. How can I scan it when it won't re-boot.

Check your RAM with memtest86+ www.memtest.org
Computer Shutdown
I had a tech guy come in and look at my pc. He said my clock speed was too high and was making my pc shut down. So he turned the clock down and I went from a 800mhz to 400mhz, when I thought I had bought an 800. Could it be a fan issue where it's just overheating. This had just happened after owning the pc for 4 years and now it needs to be turned down?

I would get some new fans and put it back on 850MHz. Assuming heat was the problem.
