My wife's computer (Compaq) starts up then automatically shuts down - doing this continuously.
Can anyone help us with this?

Start it in Safe Mode and go to My Computer, Properties, Advanced and Startup and Recovery. Make sure the Automatically Restart is unchecked then restart normally. When the error comes up you can properly see it then.

Tried to start in safe mode. Brings up a two page list of drivers on screen, then shuts down again.
Wife shut down via "Hibernate" last night, then tried to startup this morning.
