Possibly. The machine may be overheating during the startup process. Also, if you are running an old version of windows. 98,95 upgrade and it should fix the problem. One more tip, go into your BIOS, by hitting the F1,F2 or Del or F10 key and then select and enter load failsafe settings. If you cant even get into the BIOS, check that the CPU fans are operational inside the case, if they arent replace them, if they are. Look for a small silver battery called the CMOS batterdy, take it out for about 5 minutes then put it back in and this should fix your problem.
