Yesterday my computer wouldn't boot up properly anymore...

I have installed a new anti-virus (bought the CD) to it on Friday. It worked OK. When I turned the computer off I left the CD inside.

Yesterday when I switched it on - it wouldn't start. I just seemed it would try to start and get restarted every time. I checked the CD unit and saw the CD was in. After I removed it the windows started normally. It already seemed strange, but I though maybe there was somthing like a CD boot up that messed it up.

Today there was no CD in the drive (no disk either) but the same thing happened again. It was only after I hard-reset my computer that it worked and it seemed like it didn't even know it had a problem.

Unfortunately I have this habit of pushing the on button when I decide to get up (not actually use the computer - it's turned on most of the day after that), so I usually don't wait in the room until it starts running. So I didn't see what exactly happened (I'm not even sure, it gave the option to enter the BIOS setting). But I don't want to turn it off right now - as I'm not 100% sure I could turn it back on again (and I don't want to lose certain data - I'm making back-up copies now).

Does anyone know what the hell this problem could be?
