Computer not loading properly

Hi,

my ciomputer is failing to load windows. It gets past the Windows XP loading screen then blanks out, stops for a few seconds, then reboots and won't actually load into windows. But will let me use safe mode with the GUI so any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Boot it into safe mode, then:

Control Panel
System
Advanced
Startup and Recovery

UNcheck the box that says restart on error.

Restart in normal mode, and post the first few lines of the bluescreen you will probably get instead of a reboot. We need to know the stop error code and the basic verbage that accompanies it. Also, please post details about the computer.
