My computer was rebooting for 2 days right after entering windows, but it was on a "timer" it would still reboot if you just stayed at the welcome screen, always after the exact same length of time. It would give a blue screen that would dissapear after a few seconds, but I took a picture of the screen with my camera phone and could tell it was some sort of memory error.

It suddenly stopped after I tried to reinstall windows. I say "tried" because my F8 key on my dinova media keyboard would not work to agree to the EULA, even though it works fine now...

After this, I just exited to scramble to grab my PS2 keyboard to see if that would work. The computer then stopped rebooting after I plugged it in...then once I got back into windows I put my media keyboards connector back in and took out the PS2, everything now works...WTF. Why did my computer start rebooting for 2 days?

On top of that it started when I came home from work, the computer was not even on. My friend got on it for a few hours after work, then the rebooting started...Anyone have an explanation for WTF happened???

Perhaps it was just a matter of how your keyboard was previously connected, maybe the connector was pressed or pulled awkwardly and caused the system to be unstable when it attempted to fully initialize the device.

I'd ask your friend what he did to it... More often than not, if someone does something that damages the property of someone else's, even a friend, they will act like it did it all on its own. This way they won't be responsible for replacing it. Just how people are :)
