If this is the situsation of your computer. First, you have to partition your hardisk to clean all deffective file or crosslinked files, then format your hardisk and install your windows XP. After you intall the windows if there's no problem it means you got the solution. For example the situation is back again try to examine you processor and the memory (RAM) of computer. Replace or swapped the processor and the memory with the good one.

Check for availibilty of all the hard drives after its started. Remove the RAM and gently press it on its place and very press will result in the breakage of the cirucit( as it like a thin wire on the Printed Circuit Board). If it is restarted within 10 10 seconds, check the SATA driver configuration and it should have been disables( BIOS set up) It it is restarting within 15 minutes, there can be some loose contacts in the hardware components. Do not handle very roughly,while checking the connections.Even then if it is not working,call the concerned person and this is the better way.
