So it restarts whether you are in Safe Mode or starting in Normal mode....and do you have the XP Operating System disc?

If you don't like or have patience to troubleshoot, Reinstalling windows will your best option. Normally if a computer is restarting you will have three options so far.

1. The problem was caused by a recently installed or uninstalled software.
2. The problem was caused by a recently hardware install or uninstall.
3. Spyware, Virus, or Malware problem.
