As the title, I can't enter safe or normal mode, it stops at the same point on the windows loading bar and restarts automatically. I've had a look in the bios and in the case and the fan next to my psu is out, would that cause this though? My mobo is an ASUS a8n sli, the ram looks ok from bios. Any ideas other than a fresh install? I've already tried repairing through the install disc, no difference even though an error was found and fixed.

Also to say, at first when I tried to get into safe mode it stopped with an erroron the line for daemon tools (forget the exact cmd) so I disabled that and now when I try to boot to safe mode, it goes down the list fine but restarts when it gets to the bottom. Also the last time the pc was on, it crashed shortly after using daemon tools, so that could well be the issue. Also never had a bsod throughout, just restarts

I've had a problem like this before, but it was due to a dodgy Acronis restore, it ended up being a driver problem when I googled it. But BSOD also came up quickly, then it restarted. I eventually ended up just installing from scratch and recovering the files I wanted from the .tib file (Acronis backup file).
