Why would your computer be restarting itself even after you installed a new version of Windows XP?

If you havent installed the security updates and have surfed the net (either by modem or by a lan line) you probably picked up one of the many worms wriggling all over the net. Keep those service packs updated and use firefox or some other NON internet explorer browser. If its an older computer you may have to troubleshoot some of your hardware which is a giant PIA. Try taking out any newer components that you may have upgraded before reinstalling your windows and disconnecting your ROM disc drives to see if you can get the OS to boot up and stay up. Bad drivers means bad news. Any upgrades might require you to install driver prior to equipment. Aside from the software issue your hard drive may be funking out. If its making funny noises you better get it somewhere you can back up your stuff. The most common cause for involuntary windows restarts are the worms but that doesnt mean the other problems are ruled out. Good luck.

What happens when you wipe your computer with a Dell disc and your computer isn't Dell?
That depends on exactly what brand of computer you have, and what operating system was originally installed on the computer being, "wiped" and the computer the Dell disk came from. There are two types of Windows besides the whole Home, Pro, Ultimate etc., Retail and OEM. If the registration information for Windows that came with the computer is going to be reused, and the computer was running the same OS as what is on the Dell disk, in most cases I think that the system will allow a complete reinstall of Windows. If the computer was not running an OEM version of Windows and never has, the Dell Disk would not be able to install properly. A retail version of Windows should be able to be installed on any system that it legally can be installed on that meets the minimum system requirements.
How can you install Windows XP when the CD won't boot?
If you already have a version of windows installed, you could try upgrading from the version you already have installed, but that isn't really installing windows freshly. You'd need to reconfigure your BIOS to boot from the CD. Try checking the manual from your bios or motherboard manufacturer on how to do this, or read the documentation that came with your computer.

I think that by Microsoft (the company's name) you mean Windows (the operating system made by Microsoft).
