    Make sure the heatsink isn't filled with dust and that the fan is clean plus running. Overheating, bad power supply, hardware/software problems and viruses could cause the constant restarts.

    check bios' boot order. u'r not booting to the CD installer. i'd bet u'r boot order lists hard disk as 'first' ... many do

    i'd avoid u'r xp pro cd here and use the one that came w/ the system in any event
