Windows XP won't start -- Computer keeps restarting

[jasontyip]

I'm hoping somebody can help me out. My laptop running Windows XP Home
was working great up until now. I went to turn it on and see the
Windows XP logo come up like everything is loading. Then it quickly
flashes to a blue screen (doesn't stay up long enough to see what it
said) and then goes back and reboots. The same thing happens again,
over and over on a loop.

I wanted to see what the blue screen said, and tried to take a picture
with my camera. Here's what it said:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
(can't make it out) to your computer.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart
your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.

If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software
manufacturer
for any windows updates you might need.

If problem continues, disable or remove any newly installed hardware."


I haven't installed anything new. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Jason

Check the cooling fan on the Pentium Chip. It is probably not working and
the chip is over heating.

This will shut the PC of and it will then restart and the cycle begins
again. Good Luck!
