it says windows is starting up then shuts down and starts again

Mmm, that sounds like a possible hardware problem.

Physically disconnect anything not required to boot your system.

Leave just the cpu/mobo/videocard/hard drive/1 stick of ram, see if your system will now boot and post back.

Normally a bugcheck of C2 is a symptom of a bad driver or buggy software.

However, since you can`t access Windows in normal or safe mode, this may prove very difficult to fix.

I suggest, you transfer your hard drive to another computer as a slave drive and backup your important data, just as a safe guard.

Then, replace the drive in your computer as master and try doing a Windows repair as per this thread HERE.
