I'm not sure what unplugging/plugging back in will accomplish as suggested earlier... but, as previously mentioned, this is usually related to hardware failure. Have you tried starting in safe mode?(pressing F8 while in the process of restarting) If you can get to safe mode, you can eliminate hardware problems, possibly a virus or a bad software config is causing the headache. If this is the case you can uninstall the last program you installed before your issue or run your anti-virus program at this point. The recovery disks may not be working because the boot order is not set to floppy as the first boot device in the BIOS. Have someone check it if you don't know how - you can do some damage if you start poking around and make a wrong change. But- It's always better to check and troubleshoot this stuff and narrow down a problem before paying someone to do what you could have done for free...

My Toshiba Satellite was stuck at the restarting screen.
I took battery out, disconnected AC, and held the On/Off button for 30 seconds and surprisingly its started to complete and update, restarted itself 2 or 3 times and is now working. I am not a techie, but that worked for my issue.

I'm not windows bashing here, but you should try booting with a Linux live CD. I would suggest 'Knoppix' as the hardware detection is excellent. You will probably find it will boot all the way to the desktop, this will verify that the hardware is OK.
Knoppix should see your HDD and let you back up your files to an external drive. Then install Knoppix over WindowsXP. After that if you don't like Knoppix, you can re-install Windows back over Knoppix. It's long winded but it works.

My HP was stuck in restart; turned out to be a failed memory chip (one of the two 512s). System had to be rebuilt (groan). Your best bet may be to take it to a techie and have 'em figure out whether it's a hardware problem before you diddle with anything else...

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
