I means that some one has deleted ntldr file from the root folder of the boot drive. That can be fixed by booting from windows's CD and launching the recovery console. Then select the correct windows installation. Then you should get command prompt. Type fixboot [bootdrive] and pres enter now the fixboot utility should fix the boot drive. After it's done type exit and pres enter and the computer reboots.

That sounds like you have some other major issues with your PC, most likely overheating. It should not do that when booting from cd...
