Hello!

I have Windows XP Home on my laptop and all of a sudden it will not boot!
When I turn the laptop on the booting sequence begins, I see the Windows XP
Home logo and after a few seconds it restarts by itself, again the same
thing keeps repeating in a loop. How can I overcome this problem? I
appreciate your time.

Thanks and regards,
GG
