Hi,
Dig out the storage box, locate the CD. You will need to do a repair
installation to break the cycle, unless perhaps you have installed SP2
already. If so you should see an option on the boot menu to "Disable
automatic restart on system failure". Choosing this option may allow you to
fully boot with errors, or produce a blue screen "stop" error that may point
to the problem.
