boot up problem

Using Windows XP Pro SP3 with MS Office
When trying to start computer it goes to the screen to select safe mode;
start from last working etc; or to start normally.
Have tried all these and it still won't start properly. It gets the Windows
page up as if loading and then drops out (no signal to monitor) and returns
to this start screen again. When it does this there is a blue screen that is
there for a very short time with writing. It is too fast to even get a
chance to read it.
I have a ASUS P4S800-MX motherboard.
Is this a hardware problem. I have a video card and don't think this is a
problem as I have removed it and connected to the motherboard and have the
same problem as before.

Any ideas?
