XP Pro stuck in Boot Loop

[Bill Wolcott]

Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue. Changed out CMOS battery,
re-booted. Get's as far as XP splash screen, then automatically re-boots.
Trying all 3 safe mode options or "last known good setting", same result.
System is Duron 1 ghz, 512k ram. Reason for battery change - BIOS was
"losing HD". Had to manually locate several times prior to change.
Thanks,
Bill W

It could also be the power supply problem or a hard drive problem. During
spin up of the hard drive is when it uses the most wattage. If your power
supply is borderline or having problems it can cause a reboot. In addition
if your hard drive has mechanical problems increasing wattage to spin up can
also cause the same problem. I had a similar problem with my bios not
recognizing my hard drive and within a few days I heard the dreaded clicking
noise of death.
