Hi! I have a computer with XP Professional. The problem is when I turn on the computer and appears the blue screen ~before the icons appears~ the computer restart automatically.

Any idea What Can I do to fix this problem??

In safe mode it does the same thing.

How old is the pc
have you recently downloaded or installed any software/hardware.

It's a Pentium IV.
And Apparently all begins when a Windows Update was finished.

The first thing to try is the Recovery Console.
You want to do a chkdsk /r in this console.

Are you able to get to the Safe Mode Startup Options Screen? If so, try loading the "Last Known Good Configuration" option.
