Windows XP rebooting before logon

Windows XP rebooting before logon as title, any ideas what I can do? I can't get into safe mode either and it's just stuck in a constant loop of rebooting!

"boot from a windows CD into the recovery console and run: chkdsk c: /r

No error codes or anything?

the problem is that your system is set to automatically restart rather than producing a crash dump (BSOD). so, in the future clear the Automatic restart upon system failure (advanced system properties > startup & recovery)."

"Have you recently added new memory or just finished building the computer?
If so read-on, otherwise, ignore.

I had this problem with a clean install of Win XP x64 with newly installed memory that the board couldn't handle.

I don't know how this wouldn't have been caught earlier in the boot process, but the XP spash screen would show and then reboot.

After checking out the motherboard manufactures website, I changed the voltage for my RAM and it solved the issue."
