Windows wont start :/

[SpuD]

Im working on someones computer and im conflaggled.

Its a p4 system, 1g of ram, im not sure of the mother board type.

Whenever it turns on, after the system messages and stuff it goes to that screen that gives you an option to go into safe mode, start windows normally, etc... but you cant move the cursor at all, the USB keyboard doesnt work there, but It does work in the bios. After that message it will attempt to start windows normally (because thats what the cursor was left on) but it just restarts the computer and tries again...

It just randomly started doing this too, he was playing WoW, it crashed, his computer shut down, then it started doing this.

Ive tried testing only 1 of the ram sticks in different slots, then the other one, to no avail, Ive tried changing many options in the BIOS, but that doesnt work either.

Help

Have you tried going into safe mode by hitting f8? Or you could also try booting from the windows cd.

try plugging in a ps2 keyboard and starting in safe mode, if it starts with no error messages, then try booting up with the winxp cd and using the fix master boot record command. I think its fixmbr, but best check.
