unplug the drives and see if the pc posts, doe monitor work etc

yeah i've tryed that , and yes the monitor works it turns on displays the massive asus sign then
goes to Safe mode
Safe mode with networking ect.... then will show its loading windows xp then blip off it goes back the the boot screen again ... i've tryed every possoible think it would normaly be hdd connections all fine cd drive fine ram fine gfx card fine psu fine no logical reason for it !

Are all the system/cpu fans clean and working? (to rule out cpu overheating)

Do you have a Windows install CD? Boot from CD and try a Windows repair.
Could be corrupted system file(s).

i have checked all the fans ect ... even removed one off the psu to see if it was because the rest of the pc didn't have enough and it was not that , have tryed and no i can not do that it comes up with

File setupdd.sys could not be loaded the error code is 7
Setup cannot continue . Press any key to exit

so even thats a no go
