PC probs can anyone help

Hiya my son's pc is poorly he reckons hes not done owt..yea right!!! kids grrrr

When he turns it on it goes to the black and white where it says start windows in safe mode, normal mode etc.

I have clicked on safe mode and normal mode it starts to reboot up then goes back to that screen

Is this gonna cost me loads to fix or is there a way i could have a go, by way i not got any disks for me to reload stuff.

Many thanks in advance for replies
