try disable all startup items to see if one of them is causing the reboot

Click Start > Run. Type in msconfig without the quotes.


Click on the Startup tab
Click on the tab called Startup. Make sure the window you are looking at looks similar to the picture below. Do not worry if you have different items in the Startup Items column than portrayed below as you most certainly do not have an identical PC to me.

No it will start trust me I've been doing this for years this is not normal "Microsoft Windows Operating System" like I said disable all item it won't hurt your PC it will let us know quickly if one of the programs is causing the problem the items in this section are not needed for window to boot.

Ok I looked into that, They were all just programs like media player or sidebar. How ever there were two I was still worried about c:\windows\ehome\ehTray.exe and c:\system32wpcumi.exe will Windows not boot if i get rid of one of these?
