Hi - Are you getting any error messages? Is XP loading, if so how far do you go from there before the problem occurs?
Also some system details
Hard Drive? - Processor? - RAM? Graphics Card? Is this a desktop, laptop, or tower? Make and Model? Do you hear the Hard Drive/Fans running? Any beeps on startup?Regards.I know everything about nothing, nothing about everything and precious little about the bit in between.

Hi yoda - This will stop the reboot
Right-click on My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab. Under “Startup & Recovery,” click Settings. Under “System Failure,” uncheck the box in front of “Automatically restart.”
Do you have Roxio installed? Regards.I know everything about nothing, nothing about everything and precious little about the bit in between.
