My computer is stuck in a restarting loop.. kinda.. thing?

the boot ini file is messed up

you need to put your xp cd in and do a repair choose r for repair when asked

type To repair a damaged Boot Sector at the command prompt type FIXBOOT and press Enter. Then answer "Y"

You can stop the automatic restart this way:

1. When the machine starts the boot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.

2. A text screen will come up. Click the Disable automatic restart on System failure entry.

3. When you boot again, the Blue Screen should stay up for you to read rather than reboot itself.

That should give you a chance to record more off the Blue Screen.

Hope that helps.

maybe do a search engine search on a command called

fixmbr

which fixes the master boot record

I had a similiar case at work. An old laptop with a similiar issues and they gave me the laptop and I took it home and at an hour of using a digital camera to take a snapshot of the blue screen of death (BSOD) I finally captured a picture of the error message and the fixmbr worked

also, slim chance but the RAM/CPU may have to be reseated

but you need to be a geek to figure it out without ruining your machine

and that is a very slim chance because I do not believe you could reach those five options

actually, it is 6am on a sunday my time, still sobering up, forget that reseating bit

I assume you tried safe mode and it didn't work?

In those situations the only thing you can really do is reinstall Windows using the recovery discs that came with the laptop. If it still doesn't work, then it is a hardware problem and you have to get the machine repaired.

if your computer doesn't shutdown properly it goes to Safe mode menu at the boot up. You should fix/replace the charger. It is bad for your hard disk to lose power while it is writing - you'll end up with bad sectors and corrupted files.

"Restart Problem" can be caused by a fault in de OS. u can solve it like this:

start>controle panel>system>properties>advanced>startup- recovery configuration> system faults> computer starts automatic op new [UNCHECK THIS]

unless there is a major problem with the registry, this is worth the try!

I'm sorry mate that happend to my old computer and soon it will just shut down.In other words it's gonna be dead.You have to reinstall the computer because it probably has viruses.If it's new i don't know but just get it back

It might be that you have a "baby" virus. It makes your computer restart in a loop. Take it to a reseller.
