XP Restart Help

[Grant]

My computer restarts every time I try to log on. I have
used F8 and safe mode and previous working points but
have had no luck. It just restarts after logging on when
it displays loading your personal settings. please help if
you can
thanks

Hi!
By default, XP is configured that when a system failure is encountered
the system automatically restarts.To prevent the system from
automatically restarting:

Right click>My Computer >click >Properties> and select >Advanced tab.
Click the >Settings button in the [Startup and Recovery] section.
Remove the checkmark from [Automatically Restart] in [System Failure]
section.
Now when yoy will reboot your system you will get an error message which
will help to detect the problem.
You may also check the same in Event viewer.
start>control panel>Administrative tools>Event viewer
