Continuous rebooting

I recently added a different king of RAM and took out my
CPU, then put it back in. I don't think this has anything
to do with the problem, but I am mentioning it because this
is when my problems began. Now, when I try to boot,
everything is fine up until the point where the Windows XP
screen and the moving blue line is. The next screen is the
sign in screen for your user ID. I never make it to that
screen...once I leave the Windows XP screen, it
automatically starts to reboot every time. I have tried
going into safe mode, and it ends up getting stuck in some
kind of infinite loop (the CPU light is on, but the screen
never changes). I chose the option to restore the last
known good point, and the same looping happens. I have a
dual boot system with 2 HDs, and the other w/Linux works
fine, so I don't think it's a hardware problem. I think a
boot file some how got corrupted. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to repair this without reinstalling
Windows? I can get to a command prompt using the
installation disk, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot
Windows from the command line. Any help is greatly
appreaciated.
