Uncommanded Reboot in Windows XP Pro with New Asus M2N-E-SLI Motherboard and AMD Athalon 64 5400+ CPU

I recently purchased an Asus M2N-E SLI motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ CPU. I installed 2 Gig of PC 4200 DDR2 memory and a EVGA GeForce 7300 GT  PCI Express video card. The OS is Windows XP Pro with SP2 and all security patches installed. The system begins to boot but reboots before the logon display screen. Trying to boot up in Safe Mode, the system will boot to the logon screen.  After selecting a logon user in Safe mode, the system reboots. Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Thanks for all three suggestions. I had to order a new fan so I won't be able to boot the system until tomorrow. Just letting everyone know. Thanks to all three for a quick response.
