Its a Dell poweredge 2200 w/64 mb ram, 3 gig h/d, two nic cards, one sound card and one tv out card. Ran great untill I powered down twice. Any ideas or links that would help.

It's possible that the reason of this is caused in your shell/profile in the user directory.

Start up in the single mode ( if using Lilo you should type single at the Lilo prompt)

than you can examen your startup files.

Have you run fsck on the drive? I would recommend booting to runlevel 1 and running fsck (-a or -r). You might also wish to reinstall X. But, before you do that, check your power supply and make sure the fan is working and that the power supply isn't hot (overheated power supplies cause random computer rebooting). There are a million other things that could be causing the problem, but those are the most likely.
