Hi. You may have to install a temporary new hard drive and reinstall your OS on that. Install and set to old drive to 'Slave' and copy any files you want, then format the old drive. There may be other better answers.

You may have a corrupt boot sector or a boot virus on the hard drive.
If Windows XP boot with it, choose R (recovery)
It will ask for which drive, normally C: or 1 press enter.
You will be at the command prompt;
Type : fixmbr , then press enter, answer yes
then Type: fixboot, press enter, answer yes
Finally type : exit
The computer will reboot, make sure the cd is removed before it boots back up
You shouldn't have to reformat.

It most likely, your CPU overheating. Check to be sure the fan is pinning, and the heatsink is securely attached to the CPU socket.
