Start up problems

[Nance]

My computer has trouble starting up after a complete shut
down the night before. It will begin to boot up and then
a certain point it's like I hit Alt-Ctrl-Del (but I
didn't). It does this several times and it will end up
to the screen where I can choose to start normally, last
known config, etc. But even if I choose one of these it
comes back to the same place after rebooting. The only
way I found to bypass it is if I put the WIndows XP cd in
and boot, which causes another error, I cold boot and
then it seems to start ok. Could you please reply to my
email?
