System 32 problem AGAIN!!

I just had a nasty 15 minutes when I tried starting up this PC earlier.It was coming up with the options to start in safe mode etc.Tried that and it kept reboting.Tried the start Windows normally and it carried on rebooting,Tried the use the last safe good configuration..carried on rebooting.Realised that I had a problem and I would have to re-install.the upshot seemed to be I had a system 32 failure.It then rebooted and when I was offered the chance to repair it asked for administrators password..I don't have one..I then exited and the safemode screen arrived,I decided on the go back to last known safe configuration option and suddenly it was back to normal...

Now what exactly did I do that sorted out the problem...

Anyway I'm running my AV (which is NOD32 and I'll be surprised if anything has got past that)and i'm going to get adaware going as well..The ZAP antispyware ran yesterday so but I'll give it another go.Why is System 32 giving me these repeated boot up problems? Is it something XP home is prone to?
