It *could* be a dying CMOS battery on your motherboard. That might throw an error in the event log and typically cause all kinds of trouble booting the machine but I've learned never to say never. There's basically a watch battery on the board and depending on the motherboard model you may have to throw a jumper to reset it after you replace the battery or at least leave it unplugged for a few hours to be sure caps aren't holding any voltage. It's not rocket surgery, but not for the faint of heart if you're not comfortable with it. And I'll never disparage XP unless it's running my ATM.
