Help Appreciated - Resets while loading windows

[RedHouse18]

Apparent hardware problems had this box sitting cold for a month.
Now I'm trying to get it up again.

The problem is that it resets while trying to load windows in safe mode
(I'm using basic bios settings)

I could try doing a "repair" on my Win XP installation.
or is this hardware... RAM? CPU?

Thanks much,

Leadtek K7NCR18D-PRO (NForce II) with an Athlon XP 2100
ATI All-in-wonder 9000 Pro
Ram is ocsystem pc2100 (but i never got it running stable at full speed)
Power Supply a Fortron FSP300-60ATV
Western Digital 120gig hd

I'd tend to suspect software. One easy way to test at least basic functionality is to try a dos or W9x boot disk. If you don't have one of those, download WDigital's disk diagnostic s/w and run a check on the hard disk. If that works, I'd suggest you reload XP - preferably as a clean install.
