When starting up my computer windows xp. It keeps shutting down and restarting every 30 seconds.
I have tried the safe mode, safe mode with networking and safe mode with command prompt. I have
clean out all fans just in case of over heating but the problems still continues. I am currently using my
laptop.... can anyone guide me through the process to get me up and running... socalhidesert1 thanks.

At what stage, exactly, is it shutting down? Is it during POST or after windows start loading?

If you have XP CD boot with disk, chose Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r. If you need more help with this step please let us know.
