might check power supply voltages.

try resetting BIOS to defaults on all pages.

if that doesn't work, might be memory. make sure memory, CPU and motherboard are compatible.

When I run into this I always check the Hardware first but then again because I fix hardware that may just be me.

However if it is a Windows Issue and you have a M$ Branded Install Disc as apposed to a System Makers Recovery Disc you can perform a In Place Install by following the directions in Method 2 here

Does the BIOS have "reboot on failure" checked?

You might be getting a blue screen, but it's rebooting before you see it.
