Computer will display the Windows XP logo at logon and then screen goes blank and the machine re-boots. This cycle continues until manually power off. Not sure why?

This should stop the continuous reboots, but will not cure the cause.
Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Startup & Recovery > Uncheck Automatically Reboot under System Failure. Click APPLY/OK

Unfortunately I am unable to get intot Windows to make the changes.
The re-boot occurs when the Windows XP logo first appears.

Can you get into Safe Mode? Try tapping the F8 key before the logo appears.

No tried that and "last Known config"
