I was trying to re-install a program and it said to re-start my computer, but then after I restarted it it asked for my password (as usual) then it came up that it was loading my personal settings and immediately after that it said it was logging off. I tried to start in Safe Mode but it did the same thing, also in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. What could possibly be wrong???

I am not asking for a password etc., I was only describing what happened prior to my system not loading Windows. I was asking for suggestions or help with what could possibly cause my system to abruptly stop loading windows. I know my password and once I put it in my system procedes to log on and then log off without an error message.
Try this thru safe mode:
In order to figure out why you are getting random reboots, you need to make a settings change to your computer. Go to:
Start > right click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab > Setup and Recovery 'Settings'
UN check 'Automatically Restart'. Click OK.
Reboot your computer. Now when Windows detects a problem it will not automatically reboot, but rather give you a blue screen.
Blue screens are often called 'Blue Screens of Death' (or BSOD) by users, and 'Stop Messages' by Microsoft. We need to know the exact message you see when you get the blue screen. We especially are looking for a set of letters and numbers about half way down the page that take this format:
0x0000008e
This is usually followed by a set of 4 similar numbers in parenthesis. For now we just need the first set of letter and numbers (before the numbers in the parenthesis).
If you can change it there then reboot normally and see what happens....

My other problem is that I can't get into safemode either. Someone outside this forum mentioned that I might not have enough disk space to load anything so therefore windows can't load either. Could this be true, and if so how do I handle that problem??
Purchase another larger capacity hard drive and install your OS on it and make this one a slave on the secondary IDE cable and then access all of the data from it to the new drive, then use the old drive as either storage or for programs or possibly dual boot a Linux distro from it.

Is it always a virus krazyko? I noticed you are replying with that on several other posts also.
The reason I am reply with that is because I have fixed several computers with the exact same problem. I can't remember what the virus was but after plugging in the drive to another system and doing a scan it found a virus on the drive and it fixed the problem.

Hello my name is Jesus Gamez if Windows XP is not loading what i would suggest doing is a full Fresh Install of Windows ofcourse you will loose everything on your hard drive because everything will delete from the hard drive disk but you will have a brand new computer after doing this. next time i would try to save work, pictures, music & other stuff to cd rom or a flash drive just for back up.

Possible it could be a virus, but don't always rule that as the problem. Windows might be currupt. Try using your recovery disk that came with the PC. If you do not have a recovery disk, get your copy of Windows and attempt to repair the OS.
Pop in XP cd, hopefully your CD-ROM is set to first drive to boot from when you turn on your computer. If it is not, get into bios and carefully find your boot order. Do not change any other settings than boot order.
Your machine might tell you which key to press to get into bios when you first turn on the machine. If it does not, try the DEL key at system startup, if this fails, try F1 as well as all of the other FN keys.
Good luck

I'm not too good when it comes to inside the computer. I looked but could not recognize my secondary IDE cable. (Do all computers have them?) I did find the IDE cable that's hooked to my original hard drive but can't find out how you would add another hard drive to it. By the way, I have a Dell Dimension 2350, purchased from Rent-A-Center.
Well, I don't have a recovery disc, because as noted, I bought my computer from Rent-A-Center and Windows was already loaded.

You will need to obtain a copy of Windows XP to do a repair. Lack of computer knowledge with this problem might force you to bring your computer to a repair shop.
Let me research this issue some more and I will get back to you.
