Try flashing the BIOS and reseating the RAM.

If that doesn't work, you can use your XP CD and start an install. Once you choose to install, it will say something like "searching for current versions of Windows"

When it finds the current install of XP, it will give you the option of Repair current version.


Hope that helps.

Ok. amazingly enough, I know this one. You probably have a corrupted program file. How do I know, I hear you ask. I have a beat up POS hp notebook with XP home on it. And it did that to me for the longest time. I think its caused by a netsky virus. nasty business

I'm sorry. Did I blow your brains out?

Can't we all just get along? And if not, what ever happened to settling arguments with a 12 gauge shotgun?

I agree with Curious, I've had this same type ofproblem and it was bad memory. If you have two sticks, try it with only one (try both, one at a time).

Its a corrupted file in your system files. Do you have more than one anti virus on your machine? I had that problem too. Some of the things I do is really stupid . Anyways, corrupted file, multiple anti-virus's, and I also found that the netsky virus was the cause of alot of my problems as well.

I thought you said it reboots immediately after POST. If you can boot into safe mode, run a virus scan.

XP has a feature called System Restore. You can set your system files back to an earlier date. Try using System Restore.

To run System Restore in safe mode:

Access System Restore through Help and Support.
Follow the instructions on your screen.


If that doesn't work, you'll have to run a Repair using your XP CD (see earlier post).


Hope that helps.
