Looks like you`ve got some kind of hardware problem.
Go HERE and read my post. A message for all newcomers.
This is because we need you full system specs.
Open up your case and disconnect anything that`s not required to boot. Just leave the cpu, ram, hdd, and videocard. check that everything is properly connected and seated. Are all the fans running properly?
Check the ide cables to see if they are loose or damaged.
Regards Howard

This is either a memory or a hot CPU or a bad powersupply problem, not a windows problem.
go to www.memtest86.org and get/run memtest86
check that CPU and cooler are properly connected, using thermal paste.
check that all fans are working and no dust in the PC.
