My computer keeps on rebooting it's self every time I turn i
Every time I turn on my computer it re-boots its self so EVERYTHING on it is deleted expect certain programs.
My iTunes is on it and it delted ALL my songs.
My AIM is on it and it delted my screen name.
Same thing with other programs..
Anyone know how I can fix this without paying a lot of money?

You definitely have a virus, and it's spun your hard drive. Meaning, that all of your information and everything that's on your computer is gone. There's no way to recover any of this information, with this virus. So what you have to do is erase everything on your hard drive, and put things back on (whatever you have cd's for.) Most of these cd's to erase the hard drive, come in about six steps. The cost is around $80 to $100.
You have to buy these from your internet service provider. I can't lie, these are expensive but it's really the only way. And it is the cheapest. You only have one other option, which is you can buy a new hard drive and put it in yourself. But I do not recommend this if you do not know how to put one in, because you could mess up something in the computer, by accident. And it's even more expensive than the discs. They run from $100 to $200 or more!

sounds to me like a virus, get a virus program and scan the computer to see if it comes up with anything.
good luck

I'm no computer expert but it sounds like you have a virus here or hard disk crashing. The only thing I would recommend trying if you are sure it is not a virus is to get the discs (usually CDs) that came with it and slide them in just before it tries to boot into windows.
These discs are labelled "System Recovery" It should restore your computer back to the state it was in the day you bought it. The downside is you lose all your files and songs but from the looks of it that seems to have happened anyways.
Again, I'm not sure if this will handle your issue but it might. You may however, have a far more serious issue than any system recovery disk could fix but you might as well try every suggestion you get at this point as you have nothing to loose at this point.
