Boot Up Problem in 4600

Ok, I've been having this problem for a while.  What the computer does is when you hit the button you have to wait a few minutes and it will then start to start-up for you.  It will continue to keep rebooting until you hit the button when the light is green.  While trying to start-up on its own it never makes it to any screen on the computer....and there's not even a second between each boot.  The computer starts-up fine and works after I hit the button when it's green, but it's inconvenient...and I don't want there to be further damage to the computer.  What are all the possibilities that could be causing my computer to do this?  And do you think I'll have to replace anything?  (I just bought a new hard drive)
 
Someone moved this to the Windows XP section, but I saw no need for that as it shouldn't be Windows related, correct?  And besides, they're not helping me over there and there are other boot up problems posted here and you guys are helping them.  I really need my computer to work, so any help is appreciated.  Thank you!!!!

    USB Emulation Allows USB devices to work with operating systems that do not have direct USB support. USB Emulation is always enabled during the BIOS boot process.

    • On - USB Emulation continues when control is passed to the operating system.

      Off - USB Emulation ends when control is passed to the operating system.

      NOBOOT - USB Emulation continues, but USB boot devices are disabled.

    I've had it off several different times.  The only thing I have plugged into it are my monitor, keyboard, and mouse.  My mouse is USB though.
