Default Boot Failure- Checks HD then restarts.

Well, as you can see, my computer isnt top of the line. Okay lets be honest, its a piece of junk but i still expect it to work. Heres whats happening:

When I turn on the computer the BIOS loads fine but then it goes into that screen where you select how you want to start up (Safe Mode, Safe Mode w/Network, Normal etc.) I choose normal. It loads the "Windows XP Loading" Screen (black screen with the logo and loading bar, then normal one) but then I get a blue screen it has the XP logo in the top right corner (looks a lot like the GUI install screens but different text n such). It then precedes to use CHDSK to test the consistency my F drive. My F Drive holds about 8 games (around a gig each) and about a gig of music. First it Checks the Files, sucess, then it checks the Index, sucess, then it checks the "Security", sucess. It comes up and says a whole bunch of info about the space and one of those lines says "0 Bad Sectors". Next it flashes an all blue screen with a paragraph of white writing (too fast to read) then it restarts. The whole process takes about 10 minutes and just loops right back to the begining even though there is "0 bad sectors".

When i choose to start up in safe mode (all variations do this) it shows a whole bunch of file directories and a dos like format then stops and doesnt do anything.

Something i noticed is it didnt check the c drive with the os on it.

Whats going on and how do i fix this?

Thanks
