My PC auto restarts on windows loading screen. Before that it shows all of this info:

MAIN Processor: Intel Celeron ....
Memory Testing : 1.5 GB
IDE Channel 0 Master : WDC WD8 00BB-00JHCO 05.01C05
IDE Channel 0 Slave : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N RL00
IDE Channel 1 Master : None
IDE Channel 1 Slave : None
IDE Channel 2 Master : None

Floppy disk(s) fail (40)

After this i need to press F1 to continue or DEL for entering BIOS.
When i press F1 My Computer restarts on windows loading screen.
Please help me if you can.
Thanks in advance.

    Odds are your floppy drive is kaput and is listed as the first boot device in your system's BIOS. As a result, it will not cycle past the floppy drive and go on to the hard drive. Go into your BIOS and check your BOOT ORDER. If FLOPPY DRIVE is listed as first boot device, change it so that the first boot device is your hard drive. Bump the FLOPPY DRIVE down the list and out of the way or disable it in the list. Save and exit the BIOS. If your system now boots up to desktop, you know the floppy drive was your problem.
