XP can only boot in safe mode



OK guys. I have a pretty newish computer and tried installing xp pro sp2 to
it. and the installer said everything went fine.

Well when it booted up it went to the splash screen and rebooted. and did a
couple more times. So I loaded up in safe mode and tried installing sp3 just
seeing if that may over ride the problemed file. Nope.

So I rebooted and tried to load into safe mode with networking. and that
made my computer reboot as well.

And I've tried reinstalling it and the same stuff happens.

So yes. Ideas? Im thinking its some kind of network driver issue.


Just a fyi:
im funning
2gbs ram
3ghz dual core amd64 x2
and i totally forget what my network card & mobo are so ill post that up
later.

And I have another wokring computer I can use to maybe edit the currest hdd
or whatever.



And just dont tell me to google it. Tried that.

thanks.
