Operating system has crashed or has corrupt start up files, use a set of system recovery disc made for the lap top and do a system repair or re install a new original operating system using the recovery disc set. If doing a full system install back up any thing of importance as this writes over every thing on hard drive and puts back to new factory OS. The recovery disc set can be ordered by model and serial number from Compaq customer support. Press F8 at start up to enter start options, press F2 at start up to enter set up, Windows XP does not have a built in system recovery/restore partition.

So, what happens when you boot it into Safe Mode? You know... you hit F8 when the Compaq logo goes away, then choose Safe Mode. Does it boot to a desktop then? Chances are, the computer is hitting a Blue Screen of Death Error at some point and the default setting in Windows is to restart the computer when that happens. It is possible to turn off this default setting from Safe Mode, so if the computer is actually experiencing a BSOD error, it will display on the screen so you can write down the details to find out EXACTLY what is causing it. Failing hard drives cause this kind of problem. Corrupt Operating Systems (from bad updates, etc) cause this kind of problem. Infected Operating Systems exhibit this kind of behavior. Incorrectly automatically updated hardware drivers can cause this kind of issue. So... first things first. Does it boot to Safe Mode? If the BSOD happens even in safe mode, there is a way to turn off this Auto Reboot... just know it is a little involved. http://www.technibble.com/how-to-disable-automatic-restart-for-bsod-if-you-are-unable-to-get-into-windows/ There are the detailed instructions. They involve downloading UBCD4Win (and links are provided), and editing your windows registry. Then, you can see what the BSOD is, and look up how to attack it. Of course, you can blindly just perform a factory recovery... but if it is a failing hard drive (and after 3 years, that is very likely), that won't solve the issue. end of line
