If Windows XP suddenly starts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it may be because your operating system is set to automatically restart when certain system errors occur. This feature of the Windows XP operating system can be disabled. Use the information below to disable the Automatically Restart option. \n\nResolve this issue by turning of the Automatically Restart option: \n\n1. Click Start, right-click My Computer and click Properties. \n2. Click the Advanced tab and select Settings in the Startup & Recovery section. \n3. Remove the check mark next to Automatically Restart under System Failure. \n4. Click OK to close the Startup and Recovery window and click OK to close the System Properties window. \n5. Restart the PC.\n\nThe PC will no longer restart automatically when a problem occurs. Instead a blue screen appears with more useful information. You can now search for a resolution using the text from the error.\n\nAfter you perform the above steps, check if the issue persists in "safe mode with Networking", scan for virus, get the BIOS update from the manufacturer.

Few things you can do.  Try to enter Win XP in safe mode then try to find out and fix the problem there.  Or re-load Windows Xp if you don't know how to do this then bring it somewhere and pay for it to be fixed.

most likely, your boot file is corrupted. put your windows xp disk into your optical drive and reboot from the cd. go to repair console and repair the boot file

Let try this first : load Win.XP CD, press Delete momentary during reboot. On BIOS page,change boot order to CD the first.On Widows set up page,choose option REPAIR (keep everything intact).When finish,change boot order to HDD the first

Try and reboot your computer and while booting hit the F8 key. If it is a Windows XP it will take you to a bootup menu and see if you can go into Safe Mode. If your able to get in there with no problem, go to you Add/Remove programs and see if you notice any program that is new and remove it. That could be the issue also you might want to disable any programs that startup that are causing the problem. To do that, click on Start>select run> type msconfig. That should bring up a window, now look for the startup tab and click on the option that says disable all and hit ok which will tell you restart your computer. Give that a shot. If that works do a virus scan. Than go back into msconfig and enable one by one until you reach that cause of that problem and if it is a program removed that program.

Boot the computer up in safe mode by pressing F8 a couple of times before the windows loading screen appears and select safe mode. If the computer boots you have a problem with one of the driver files if the computer does not boot their is a corrupt main driver file. If you get it running run a scan disk for when the computer is next turned on this should fix any file system errors. See how you get on.If your computer does not boot you might have to reinstall windows making sure you reformat the hard drive (worst case)You might also have a program trying to run when you turn on your computer which has an error causing your computer to screw up.

What operating system? For xp home you *must* start in safe mode to get to the administrator account (hit F8 while windows is starting up to get the option to start in safe mode) If it's xp pro you can either do the safe mode way, or press ctrl+alt+delete twice at the welcome screen to bring up a different logon screen where you can type in Administrator as the user, and your administrator password, if any.

try to get to system restore, and restore it to the nearest point before he did it, if you can't get there, then on boot up, tap the F8 key ater you see the boot logo and it will come to a screen where you see safe mode and other options, try last known good configuration. Other than that do a repair install of windows

Have you installed any new hardware or software after which the problem started occuring.  You can probably try using the Safe Mode booting option to verify it.  In order to boot into the safe mode, follow the steps mentioned below:\n\n1.Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when you the Boot Menu appears.\n2.Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.\n3.When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.\n\nAfter booting into the safe mode, uninstall any new software that you may have installed or revert the system to the last stable operating point using the System Restore feature (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.\n\nIf you are unable to boot in the safe mode, probably there is some hardware issue.  Check whether the computer fans are working.  Open the computer cabinet and check if there is any dust or dirt clogged in the fan.  Switch off the computer and try cleaning it.  If nothing works, call tech support for your computer manufacturer.

Sounds like a virus. Update whatever virus scanner you have then scan the computer in safe mode.\n\nYou get into safe mode by hitting the F8 key while it's booting up at the very beginning.

i would just try going to safe mode by pressing F8 before windows xp boot and see if the icons on the desktop comes up, if not i would put the windows xp cd back in and repair the windows.
