Computer Will Not Restart

I have a gateway with windows me. I cannot get the computer to restart. It will shut down fine, but if I need to restart, it seems like the tower is freezing up.

I read in another post where you had just installed a new CDR. Did this problem start after the install or was it a problem before hand?

It started after. This
has nothing to do with the cdr. The cdr was installed last year. The problem of not restarting has been the last few weeks.

When you say it won't restart, where does it freeze up?

When you hit restart, the screen will go black, and you will think that it is going to restart, but the tower freezes. I then have to cut the tower off and it will reboot.

I would say you have a hardware problem. Remove all of the PCI cards and disconnect all of the hard drives. Will the tower start now? If yes, then plug in things one by one. If not, you either have a CPU, RAM or MB problem.
