couple of things:

Is everything seated properly?

Can you try underclocking the RAM?

Any message on the blue screen?

Also, can you boot into safe mode? If you can, go turn off Automatic restart. Start->right click on My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Startup and Recovery Settings button->uncheck "Automatically Restart"

If you can do that, you can read what the blue screen says, and we may be able to help more. I assume this is a clean install of windows and all that, and you said all the drivers are loaded, so do you know what was loaded right before it started this?

I have a similar problem. Mine is an re-install of a HD from an old system to a new one. I get a dos screen that says windows didn't finish loading and this may be caused by new hardware installation. It gives a number of options but all lead to a endless reboot. Nor can I boot into the XP install CD even if I disable booting to the HD. I just get the same screen. The blue screen flashes by too fast to read. Sorry if this seems like a hijack but I posted here because my problem is similar.
