Well, if you can't get into Safe Mode you're probably looking at
reinstalling. I don't remember if Compaq furnishes an in-place "repair"
install on their recovery media or not, but you might want to check the
information on their web site about the options. It really sounds like a
corrupt driver is causing the restarting.
