Default Windows ME keeps rebooting.

Hi
I have an old spare PC with windows ME,and I use it for trying out new programs.When I started it up this week it went to the screen with four options.one of which is safe mode.(The error message I get is windows did not finish loading on previous attempt)when I agree to safe mode it just comes back to the screen with the four options again.Have run fdisk and checked drive partitions,formated and re-installed ME.When it finishes loading ME and I reboot it goes back to the screen with four options and the same error message as before.The last software I think I used on it was c cleaner and partition magic.Have run scan disk in dos and all is fine on the drive.
Any help would be appreciated or ideas
Graham

You done just about everything I would have done to fix it! My best guess is that it's a hardware problem given that you've re-installed from scratch. Got anything connected that might be giving grief? Might be worth swapping the keyboard and mouse out to see if that helps. Check the connections inside the tower (although that's not likely to be the problem). Have you installed any new hardware lately?

Hi Greysts
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Removing a stick of ram did the trick.On reboot windows ME went straight to setting up hardware.
Many thanks
Graham
