While working on my computer, I was going into a program
when my computer restarted. I has not stopped restarting
since. I can't seem to find any information on the
knowledge base for the problem I'm having. Trying to get
an 800 number for Microsoft SUCKS! I have only had
Windows XP since June and can't get help.

XP still offers Safe Mode as a boot option. Can you make it to Safe Mode?
Try pressing F8 after POST and before XP starts to load. When the advanced
start menu appears, select Safe Mode. Log on. Take a look around.
Especially in Event Viewer.

Also, use System Properties> Advanced> Startup and Recovery. Uncheck the
box to restart on system error. This won't stop the error but it may bring
up a STOP error message that Event Viewer isn't capturing and the message
will give you more clues on what to do next.
