Computer needs a through disk check.
Use a XP disk to go into recovery console, and try following command.

chkdsk c: /f

Replace C with the drive, on which the XP was installed.

Highly probable your HDD is failing. Run an error check using HDD Tools.

Or maybe you should try repairing Windows XP by following the detailed steps on this link - Repair Windows XP by Performing a Repair Install (Part 1 of 2)

Reinstall Windows.

Reinstall Windows.

That should be the last option.

@IronCruz: do a system repair using the XP CD...

for me it looks like a corrupt driver. Start the system in Safe mode and check. if it boots, then its a driver issue.

I hope u have booted through XP CD....it is shown generally when u boot using XP CD.

u probably have the oem version of the disk the retail version does provide the repair option u can also run the chkdsk by plugging in a different pc

We need to get the bug code.
Boot the system and keep pressing the f8 key.
You will be presented with advanced bootup menu
From there choose the option "Disable automatic restart"
Boot again,you are likely to get a blue screen.....
Post back the bug code[hex dec number]

But its most likely a failing drive.....
