Dell Inspiron 1525 Auto Reboots

[Hardcoretexan]

You might want to look in dmesg maybe for a clue as to the reboots.

  and

There is a lot of stuff one can check in /var/log for weird situations like a reboot loop situation.

I don't know how to do this.

Also. Does the computer shut down or reboot if in terminal you use

It either starts or it reboots continuously, meaning everytime I restart it restarts after the instruction screen displays(before I can do anything) but if I interupt Linux after the loading screen comes up by turning off the power, the next boot gives me the advanced options. Then I go to recovery mode and then update boot loader, after that it boots up fine and everything runs great until I reboot next time.
Also as to the integrity of the disc it shows 26 items, totalling 772.6 MB on the DVD.

I only found 2 failed entries

* Starting Reload cups, upon starting avahi-daemon to make sure remote queues are populated[fail]
* Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active Directory Server[fail]
