My Dell Inspiron 5000 restarts itself during the blue Dell boot up screen. It switches itself off and starts up again in a repeating cycle.
No hardware/software has been added to the laptop prior to this problem.
I have also tried starting it without the battery (just in case) but the problem still happens.
Anybody had similar problems, any solutions?

Sounds like a faulty power supply. I would call Dell if its under warranty and have it replaced. By the way, i work for Dell as a tech and i've seen this many times.

I had a similar problem. One or more of windows system files had become corrupted: the only option was to use the restore cd and reformat.
You could try pressing the pause break key and entering the boot menu
