Here's a list of things I have tried:

Restored the bios to there default settings.
Removed and replaced the jumper located near the MB battery, placed it on the first two of three prongs, turned on computer for 60sec, turned it back off restored the jumper back to its original position. This resets the bios, according to one of the troubleshooting threads i viewed.
Installed the OS on the same HD, but different CPU, then I put the HD back into the faulty, rebooting CPU and got the same symptoms.
As for the NTLDR Fix... The CPU reboot, is preventing me from being able to use the boot CD. I put it in, choose my fix option, then the CD directs me to the "SAFE MODE, SAFE MODE W/ NETWORKING, COMMAND PROMPT, & RESTORE TO ORIGINAL WORKING SETTING" options. From that point I have tried using all of them. I get the reboot.
Tried turning off system reboot and it didn't like that. I got a the "Blue Screen of Death", so I turned it back on.
