Replace the hard drive. That is the problem. The windows xp is corrupted due the hard drive error. It cannot continue to load on windows. Replace your hard drive.

Just move the cursor to safe mode then press enter. The PC will then load up everything one thing at a time. If you end up fully loaded you can then, shut it down and start it normally. The computer will tell you of any problems, during safe mode start up.
well there is a couple of thing you could try
1) power on your computer press F8 rapidly and select "last known good configuration"
2) power on your computer press F8 rapidly and select safe mode login with your account and press yes to restore you computer to an earlier time select a date tah the computer worked ok and click on restore
try it and please if you have any problem please comment
start computer, start tapping F8 key til you get to the Windows Advanced Option. select safemode. then enter. if you can login to your desktop with no problem and it doesn't shut down it can be a virus on your computer. I suggest reinstalling Windows xp. If it still shuts down then you have a hardware issue and you should bring it to a computer technician. hope that helps

the ticking noise sounds like you need a new hard drive, if your on wireless connected internet it will run slow depending on the strength of your connection
Glad to hear you have your OS disc handy... let's try this:
Insert your XP CD and when it asks if you want to boot from the CD, press any key (ENTER) to do so. When asked, press ENTER ("To setup Windows XP now") and follow these steps...
To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press "R"
To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press "F3".
Press Enter to start the Windows Setup. DO NOT choose "To repair a
Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console". You Do
Not want to load the Recovery Console.
Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows installations.
Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press "R"
to start the repair. ((Note: If Repair is not one of the options, END setup.
After the reboot read Warning#2! ))
Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and at some point the system will reboot. When this happens, you want to now allow the system to boot from the hard disk but leave the CD in the drive. So do
not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will
continue as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and
settings will remain intact.
