first try testing your RAM (goldmemory or memtest)
if the memory pass the tests try reparing your xp, if repair doesn't pass from any reason, pull your HD take it to your friend, back up the data, and reinstall OS

If XP will not let you log in, and just keeps kicking you out, usually that is a problem with the file "winlogon.exe" in your System32 folder. More than likely it has been corrupted by a bad shutdown, or malware. If you can get your hard drive into another machine, you can extract a copy of "winlogon.exe" from an XP install CD (or copy it from another machine running XP). If the registry entry for winlogon is messed up, that too can be fixed from another machine....but try this first.....

that kind of error is of two type hard disk failure or ram failure
i think you won't repair it by setting up windows xp because
appearing blue screen is very dangerous problem
that is.. hard ware problem
as the blue screen error occure in the process of booting
the possible error is of ram because booting process is the
the process of receiving the data from hard disk to ram
in this case there is very less possibility of hard disk failure
so in my view you have to test your ram by installing it to your another friend
and I don't think installing os will work
but installing os is not the bad idea
HAVE A NICE DAY

I agree with kliker, it is a hardware problem, but my guess is ram
try testing RAM memmory, use goldmemmory or memtest (if you can find Hirensboot - there you have those programms - it's a bootable cd which contains a lot of usefull testing and repair tools, and you can find them under testing tools -> ram testing tool , or something like that )
if the test's pass (which I seriously doubt) and say the memmory is good, test your hard disk (you have powermaxtor, and a lot of similar testing tool on the same disc)
with those tests you do not have to pull the memmory out of your comp, just put the disc and boot from it, you should get arround with it
if the harddisk is good, and the memmory is good, backup your data somehow and reinstall XP
let us know what you did

I've tried hitting f8
go into the advanced menu (again hit f8)
Safe mode failed for me
as well as Last known working
tried recovery also didn't work.
the one thing that did get it to work was
- debugger option
seems to be running ok now.
I believe it might have been malware and currently running diagnostics using
Spybot scanner and Malware scanner

when you turn on the computer, pres deete button while you get into BIOS
then in BIOS find somthing like Boot or Boot order and than make the first boot device cd-rom
restart your comp and than it should boot from cd
from than on just follow the instructions
hope you'll make it
let me know

Sometimes faulty hardware will result in BSOD, sometimes bad drivers is the culprit and most of the time it was XP registry was the cause.
How do we fix the BSOD probs? Not so simple but actually not very hard either. Using a couple of prevention measure, we can fix this prob in a jiffy.
First: Do Backup (Macrium Reflect is a good one, free edition available).
2nd: Don't mess your settings (Tweaking XP, OC memory/display/mobo/cpu)
3rd: Do Backup
YES only good backup will help you if you face bad hardware (hdd with bad cluster for example)
For good and handy tools, go grap a copy of Hiren Boot CD (ver 10 I think...) and make a bootable Hiren CD. This will be handy if you want to check and double check your hardware/software.

In my opinion someone has sent you a virus .it does not harm the computer but it pops up this message not because there is a real fatal error but it is just a really annoying joke.now the restarting problem. this virus is a batch file the asshole who has sent it to you has inserted a command that is ordering the batch file to copy it self in startup file
correct it : when you open your pc you have to enter boot menu there you can find an line which sais opening files while booting if you find something strange uncheck it
