I am trying to fix a Dell desktop for my friend. He has Windows XP Home SP2. The problem is that his computer continues to reboot, over and over again. On first power up, the computer goes the screen that lists the different options for boot-up, (safe mode, safe mode /w networking or command prompt, last known good config, or stat windows normally)
All the safe mode options make the computer freeze, while the other options start the windows boot sequence, but about 6 seconds into the boot, a blue screen (of death) flashes extremely fast, then the computer restarts.
I tried to boot from the system CD, but it freezes when i try to get to the repair consoul (the hit "r" to repair your system).
Does anybody have any idea how to work-around or fix this problem? I am sure that if i can get to a command prompt, i could fix it, but I can't.
Thanks

Re-install the OS from scratch. Format first. If XP does not work install Vista first delete XP then reinstall
