Odd Restart

[Benjamin Pharr <benpharr@freedom2000net.com>]

I have just installed Debian 2.2r2 on my desktop and I other than 
configuring LILO and installing the 2.4.0 kernel on it I have done 
nothing.  It boots up just fine, but if I let it sit there after booting up 
it will restart, not reboot, itself.  It causes fs corruption and when it 
gets to the fsck on its way back up it completes the fsck and restarts 
again.  I have to go in with tomsrtbt ( a mini distro ) and run e2fsck on 
it.  What is causing this initial restart ( no messages, just a blank 
screen and then the BIOS ), and why isn't the fsck in the startup files 
taking care of it?  Thanks in advance!
