Hi would someone please help me with my problem?

I got a windows xp SP2 installed in my desktop.
The problem is, when i start my PC, it loads until when it comes to windows logo, it restarts again just like that in a loop.

I have tried safe mode but did the same.

Also when i run chkdsk /r it didn't fixed it.

I also repair windows xp (inplace upgrade) and when it reboots in the process the computer restarts and so the repair cannot be completed.

Please can someone assist..

Replace the Power Supply as it is failing. On every occasion when I have seen this happen it has been a Faulty Power Supply.

But as you have started the In Place Install Process when you have the PS replaced you'll need to complete the Repair Install before you can open Windows.

This is a software problem within Windows XP and is NOT any hardware failure. This happens whenever you shut your system down improperly, this can devolope over time or happen after the first improper shut down. Use your Win XP installation disk and run through the setup/installation of windows. The first time you see install or repair options select install then you will be asked if you want to install a fresh copy, repair, or re-install in current folder. You want to run repair and this will correct this problem. If you have a computer that can get online you could also try corrcting this problem covered by Microsoft KB article # 314058 as a guide and run scandsk (scan disk).

Get a new hard drive and reload on Windows, then connect your old drive to your computer (make sure it is slave) and then you will have access to your data.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

You check RAM. replace it with new one or with some other PC of same type of RAM. It would work. You may have to reload your OS.
