Reinstall XP OS to scratch

Reinstall XP OS to scratch

I have a windows XP OS installed on my machine and its been corrupt somehow. When the machine turns on it just goes in an infinite loop of booting up. So I decided to just reinstall the OS (I dont have system recovery disk and not sure if that would even fix the problem) with a XP service pack 2 disk(dont have product key, not sure if I need it). Not sure if that would be a problem? What all would I need to install my OS to scratch and have network connectivity with default drivers working properly? I dont need anything that I had earlier, so I dont care about backing up any software to keep? I just want a computer that has the basics. ex:Connect to internet, basic graphics, etc...

An infinite boot cycle may be dodgy RAM. Check that everything is plugged in correctly. Remove one RAM chip if you have more than one, swap them around, etc.
