    That was actually the plan but my old computer broke and won’t boot up anymore. Powering it on causes it to enter a reboot loop.

      Does it successfully POST? Can you get into the BIOS menu? If yes, the problem is probably the storage, either the boot sector is fuxx0r3d or the drive itself is dead.

        It doesn’t reach the BIOS menu. It powers off about a second or two after turning it on and then it will turn itself on to start the loop. It doesn’t stay on long enough for the monitor to even display anything.
