When I turn my laptop on, it goes through the BIOS screen, then goes through the Windows XP loading screen, then for a brief moment it flashes some small text and then restarts. It keeps going and going in a cycle. Is there anything to do?

I think your hardware is incompatible. You must have installed & removed some programs which might have removed some system files. You better reinstall OS again. (You may also try to repair it as it is allowed by XP)

Start it in safe mode-
Pound F8 while your computer starts, and go down to safe mode. Of that doesnt work, next time choose last good configuration.
If none of that works, take it to a local repair shop. They will usually charge $60 though.

Check for spyware, adware, etc.
Viruses may cause this.
Overheating may be an issue.
If you're higher end, liquid cooling or better fans might work.

I've had this happen several times. It's always meant the hard drive had gone bad.

take the battery out, disconnect the power supply, hold down on the power up button for thirty seconds then hook everything back up.
