Just put the CD and boot, when it gives you the press "any Key..." dialog with a different Keyboard then the one you are currently using hit spacebar, let setup start, hit "f8" at the license agreement all that jazz and instead of giving you the format drive screen it will let you reinstall right over the old install you may have to re-register some programs but it is the easiest "dead-OS" fix I know of.

- OR -
The other option is go into the bios options and systematically disable Devices until your OS starts. What this does is gives you a couple of hints as to what the issue is/was. If a piece of Hardware Died you will know when you re-enable it. However I find that is usually not the case, I seem to come across more often is IRQ conflict, You install some program that tries to use some IRQ that is already bound up and it crashes every-time upon boot, the solution I use in this latter case I start safe-mode with cmd-prompt. first thing i do is type "Explorer.exe" I do it this way because it is the least amount of windows to start and still be useful (I like the mouse) Then I do a quick regedit and remove the last thing I installed from the key that deals with autostart along with the keys for the last thing I installed. If you didn't install anything the first or second fixes will take care of you.
If it has an OS, I've broken it(and the OS)...
If it has a problem, I've fixed it(Or worked around it)...
If it is older than dirt, I love it(Then I install an OS and break it)...
