How far are you able to get into booting? Can you get into the system BIOS? Do you get far enough to see the windows splash screen? How old is your computer? Did Knoppix boot up?

So far this sounds like it is most likely a heat issue. If you could please check the temperatures in your BIOS (usually F2 or Del on startup) and report them here. Temperatures are usually listed under "hardware monitoring" or something simular.
