Windows XP Pro Won't Boot

I got the "missing hal.dll" error this afternoon, so I tried a repair install of XP Pro to fix it. After the repair, the system automatically reboots every time during the Windows XP splash screen, meaning I never actually can boot up all the way. There is an instantaneous flash of a BSOD before it reboots, but it's not up long enough for me to read the error.

It boots into Safe Mode with no issues. Is there a way for me to slow the boot down so I can read the error on the BSOD? Or how else can I diagnose this?
