I have not used my Mac Book in over six months. I charged the battery, powered it up and and two minutes after booting up, i got the multilingual message "You need to restart your computer."
It is now three days later and I have followed all the recommendations for safe restart, reset the pram, and attempted to reinstall Mac OS X. I followed the instruction with making sure the discs that came with the computer are clean and pressed C after the tone, all I got is the Apple logo with the spinning gear followed by a blue screen and the original "You need to restart your computer" message. The entire process takes about 10 minutes every time.
I would appreciate any suggestions at this point.
