Did it used to boot ok?
Did you install new hardware or software?
If you answered Yes and No to above questions you may have a piece of hardware that is failing and causing the machine to spontaneously reboot. You might opening the box and making sure the CPU and memory are all firmly seated in their slots. If you have multiple memory chips then try removing one at a time and see if that makes a difference. If you have extras (sound card, modem) try removing them one at a time and see if it boots.
As others have said go into your BIOS setup (usually either the F2 or Del key at boot up) look for the boot menu and make your CD drive the first boot device and boot onto the CD and attempt a repair. If that works you should then open IE, go to Tools and run Windows Update to reapply any applicable security and service packs.
