I've hit further trouble.
I followed the instructions by removing all the non-essential items, of
which there were few anyway. I then removed the sound card from it's PCI
slot. The repair function did not load, and restarted automatically. When
asked to boot from the CD, the Windows setup also restarted itself.
The soundcard was then put back into the computer. The same happened - it
continues to restart continuously by itself, without any intervention.
It seems the computer is in an irretrievable loop of restarting - does
anyone have any suggestions? I am very concerned at this latest development.

Verify your hardware. Test RAM with memtest 86+
www.memtest.org
Test hard drive with the manufacturer's tool.
Open up the machine, look for any bulging or leaking capacitors.
Check for overheat problems. If any of the heatsinks are painfully hot
to the touch.... you need to cool your machine better.
Blow out the dust.
Consider a CLEAN install of Windows.
