Computer shuts off when trying to run windows

My friend has an emachine T1742 (yea, ugh on the emachine) that runs Windows XP Home Edition. The computer basically freezes or shuts off when you try to load windows. It starts running chkdsk but shuts off during or right when you cancel it. I cannot login to safemode. I tried running recovery console using a windows disk but am still having issues. We're sure it's something wrong in the HDD itself, most likely an error in Windows. We replaces the power supply, no affect, and also switched the HDD to another computer with nothing fixed. I'm lost!!!
