I'm guessing that almost immediately after hitting the Windows XP logo, it hibernates? Therefore, I'm going to guess this is a laptop. In which case, I will prescribe that you need to force your battery to lose it's memory. This often requires special utilities, but some bios systems have them built in. Worst case, you need to get a new battery or replace the computer.

Will it boot in safe mode? (Hit F8 during boot up for the menu)

Does it hibernate when it is plugged in?
Try pulling the battery out and try it.
If you have access to another compatible battery try it with that one.

What did you do on your system that might have triggered this? I'm talkin installations, removals, odd error messages, accidental file deletions, etc, etc.
