Do all the keys function normally once the machine has booted?

if you load a non-bootable CD before the hard drive boot, the PC will try to boot from it and give an error.

A few things come to mind.
1) Heat.
2) Not enough memory
3) Running out of harddrive space.
4) A stuck keyboard key.
Press all the keys on your keyboard to make sure they are not stuck down. Coffee spills and bits of sticky cake come to mind.

Please check in "MY COMPUTER" and right click on your hdd and select "properties", in this box you will see how full or empty your hdd is.
Then go to: Start > programs > accessories >
system tools > system information. This will give you the info on your memory. If possible try and update your memory to at least 2gb.

Please post back if you have anymore problems or questions.
