Reformatting should always be the last resort.

@poster, DON'T REFORMAT yet!  Can you provide more details? For instance, how long has this been going on and what were you doing before this happened?  Also, did you recently install a SW or HW?  Lastly, could you be specific as to how far the PC boots when you tried starting windows as normal i.e. did you get any stop error (maybe with a blue screen of death?) or does it loop back to the booting process?  Oh, while you're there, you can try the "Last good known configuration" option (doubt that will help at this point but it's worth trying first).  Post back your findings.  Peace!

i installed avg anti-virus.
Every time i switched it on,it will bring out window XP whatever, it will flash a blue screen and later show start window normally, safe mode etc
Before i installed the avg, there are some songs i wanted to delete from media player but i couldn't delete them so that's why i thought that, may be it was virus and decided to install avg.
Besides that it was functioning pretty nice,  thank you
