Can you press F8 before the Windows Logo appears and choose to boot into
Safe Mode?

Just turn off the computer. Turn it on and immediately start tapping the F8
key once per second. You should shortly be presented with a menu of
choices - one being a Safe Mode boot.

It looks like your computer overheated, either the thermal component for the
CPU is burnt or the current supplied to the machine not clean.

Try to start in Safe Mode by tapping the F8 on start up and you will get the
Boot up menu options , either select Last good known Configuration or Safe
Mode and troubleshoot from there by opening the Event Viewer and check the
log error for clues.

You may have a bad RAM try to test your RAM by running Memory test by
downloading this tool and unzip it and make a floppy or CD/DVD and run it on
Reboot.

You may need to reposition/reset the RAM sticks in their slots.
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

You need to press F8 repeatedly as soon as you start your PC and before
the Windows icon appears. Then you should get your text-only screen
where you can choose the option to boot into Safe Mode.

What is the make and model number of your PC? Do you have any operating
system disks?

In that case, you will need to press F10, rather than F8, repeatedly.

Also, there is no such thing as Windows XP 2000. There is Windows XP.
And there is Windows 2000. Which do you have?

(Or perhaps you meant to say that you have a Windows XP operating system
and you also have Windows Office 2000?)

Hang on!!! I jumped the gun!

F10 will get you to the hidden recovery partition, which you may
eventually wish to try. If so, *DON'T* perform a destructive recovery:

CAUTION: A destructive recovery will format the hard drive. This will
delete all the information on the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP
and the original software that came with the computer.

But let's just try Safe Mode first.

F8!
