Hi everyone,
Has anyone had this problem? This is the first time I have encountered
this. My computer will be booting up, and right when it is about to go
into the Windows XP loading screen, there will be a brief flicker of a
blue screen (like a fraction of a second), but then the computer will
automatically restart itself and begin the process again. It gives me
the option to start the computer normally, start with the last known
good configuration, or start up in safe mode (with/ without
networking), it doesn't matter which option I choose, the outcome is
always the same -- it reboots itself.
Since we don't really know anything about your computer or the answer to
the First Question below, all I can give you are general suggestions:
The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?
Make sure the hardware is healthy:

If the hardware is healthy, do a Repair Install:

How-To
If the Repair Install doesn't work and you know the hardware is healthy,
do a Clean Install:

What you will need on-hand
If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
