XP does not boot completely but restarts

[obbomyproject]

Hi y'all, I was running an xp professional sp 2 512mb ram, one morning, it just failed to boot completely, it would display the windows start up screen for a few seconds then restarts. I tried to run repair from xp cd but after copying fails and
asks to restart "pc will reboot in 15 secs" when it is restarting it asks whether i want to boot from cd, when i hit any key, it beginning copying files again. If i do not hit any key, it attempts to boot but restarts after showing the windows start up screen. this can go on for the whole day. Pse help.

Thanks in advance

Yes it does. Here's a pic of my XP computer's advanced startup screen.
