Windows 7 Reboots During Startup - Even In Safe Mode?
Dec 8, 2011
I have a Windows 7 installation that I seem to be in an 'endless loop' on. First off, if I just let the system reboot, it comes to the windows 7 splash screen and then reboots again. This will happen endlessly if I let it.If I hit F8 during boot up, I do get the Windows 7 menu. I have tried using the 'repair' options, but they don't succeed in solving the problem. I have tried going into Safe Mode and that also reboots after getting to the 'CLASSPNP.sys' driver (at least that's what it displays on the screen).
So I thought I would just 're-install' Win 7. I boot from my Win 7 DVD, and my options are 'upgrade' or 'clean install'. If I do 'upgrade', the DVD tells me that I need to start Windows first and then run Upgrade. Of course, I CANNOT do that since Windows 7 won't start! I'm afraid to do CLEAN INSTALL as I don't want to lose all the files
Computer rebooted after 'starting windows' When starting in safe mode, it rebooted after loading classpnp.sys
This happened after I installed MSE and it detected a Trojan located in c:/windows. On hindsight deleting it was a bad idea.
I've tried using startup repair as well as sfc/scannow. I've also ttried unplugging the hard drives as well as changing the hard drive mode in the BIOS from ide to ADHCI and back.
Reboots and Reboots, Tryed dual boot, Have too revert too prev Installation, Tryed everything Booting in safe mode, safe mode Comand prompt ect...
I Have a AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.0 gigs of ram Radeon HD 3870 X2,, Dam It And They Want us 2 pay for this &*(%(*&^( &&^^^%%6 Sorry But I still Can't get my Vista &^%$#@$#$%^ Running either,Thank god the beta is free,Maybe ill try a Mac with linux....
Should i try i install it over Vista Instead,Last vista Beta fried my HDD.
Yesterday I left my pc running, and when I came back, found a black screen.Rebooting, I came across some random characters in the POST and also in BIOS, after which, the same black screen. I googled this, removed the video card and the bios and post look normal now( i use the onboard video), but when trying to load windows, the pc reboots.I tried system repair, chkdsk. When trying to boot in safe mode, it loads up to "AtiPcie.sys", then reboots.
It will only stay booted in Safe Mode. When I start the computer, it boots up, stays booted for a few minutes, then the screen goes black and it reboots. This keeps happening unless it is booted in Safe Mode. Purchased with Vista; I clean installed Windows 7 Home Premium (I know it's legit, bought it for her myself) when Windows 7 first came out.
When I turned it on, it rebooted so I started it in Safe mode and have tried/found the following problems: It had 4 adware programs and one trojan horse; removed those with Malwarebytes. Rescanned with Malwarebytes and MS Security Essentials, came out clean - Device manager showed two problems - bad drivers for co-processor and bad drivers for Graphics card. Installed those drivers and the Device Manager did not show anything wrong. Problem keeps happening.
Opened BIOS and ran both Hard Drive and Memory Diagnostics; no problems found, Did not make any BIOS changes (I have little experience with BIOS) - Ran diagnostics with Windows 7 disk; including Repair, Memory Diagnostics; no problems found - Graphics card is NVIDIA GeFroce 7150M/nforce 630M; reinstalled drivers, didn't work anything - When the screen saver goes on, there is an error message. "The screen saver can't run because it requires a newer video card or one that's compatible with Direct 3D".
This is an old computer, well out of warranty. Do I still possibly have an embedded virus? What removal tool should I get? Is it worth replacing the graphics card - if that's possible on an old laptop? Should I try a clean install of Windows 7?
Just out of the blue my laptop won't load up, just after I downloaded AVAST and service pack 1 my laptop has been playing up..It freezes just at the windows logo and when trying to load safe mode it freezes at the driver atipcie.sys and then goes to a black screen where the cursor is just there and nothing else.

I can only run Windows 7 Home Premium (different computer than the one I'm posting from) in safe mode. When I try to use the Diagnostic Tool, it says that it is saving the files but then it doesn't finish up with giving me the folder on my desktop. How I can get the files to show so that I can attach them to this thread?
Earlier today I tripped over a headphone cord and it flung my computer off my desk. I have an HP omni PC. It's the kind that had the computer and the monitor built together. I picked it back up off the floor. The power cord came out on impact. I set everything back up and was relived to hear it turn on. I selected start windows normally (win 7 64 bit) and it sat at starting windows forever. I eventually manually shutdown the computer. I powered back on and I got an option to start windows normally or use startup repair.
I thought it would be a good idea to go into startup repair. It just sat at the light blue screen with the large white mouse sitting there. Nothing happened. Nothing appeared on screen. I turned off the computer again and am just leaving it there for now. I am worried that the hard drive may have been disconnected from the fall and that's why windows won't start. Or maybe the hard drive was damaged. I tried doing a safe mode boot but it redirected me to startup repair.
have a HP Pavilion dv7, uses Windows 7, last night start menu error box pops up, cannot load start menu or desktop, cannot system restore or any suggested ideas, figured I'd go to safe mode .. nothing, completely ignores F8 key tapping or holding.
I recently got a virus 2 days ago. It disable my possibilities from accessing any program or internet. I made a mistake by downloading a windows something ware to boot up security. It then crash...so I went to task manager didnt work, which i then went to search and entered msconfig. I then chose safe mode in minimal services. It then says loading files. U see a black screen with thite letters of the files being loaded. Then u see ur mouse cursor, and then it boots up again and same process. So I tried launch startup repair, it launches a repair, but it says it startup cannot repair this computer automactically. I then result into going to tapping f8..it goes to the screen of advanced options. Problem is if i try safe mode it will crash. I dont have a backup, and i dont want to lose my movies of over 700 gigs.
I'm having some trouble starting Windows. First I was having trouble with booting into safe mode so I done some Googling and I found this page and tried it [URL] now not only can I not start my PC in safemode but not in normal mode either, with checking the option for safe mode in msconfig it now keeps trying to start my PC in safe mode over and over again. I also cannot start my PC with the last known configuration.
I tried repair my PC with my DVD but that cannot fix it. There is no system restore point or recovery saved.
My HP laptop has been running slow and crashing for a few days. I downloaded and ran malwarebytes but it didn't find anything. My AVG 2011 stopped working yesterday and now tonight the laptop won't even start up in safe mode. Its launching straight into windows, then into system repair, which fails.
my computer was running fine then yesterday i suddenly got shut down and anytime i turned it back on i would get a BSOD after a few seconds unless i went to safe mode its a page_fault_in_nonpaged_area 0x00000050.the only thing different is i downloaded borderlands from steam, played for about 8 hours, then got the packs running, then 10 mins later it shut itself down on its own currently system restore only had 2 options for 8am when i downloaded borderlands, 1 said critical system update adn the other was direct x 9 im not good with computer hardware so if u need any more info tell me, but heres some system stuff System Info Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz
My Toshiba laptop has been overheating lately. Looked online and saw that this is a common problem with Toshibas. As I currently live in Indonesia (from Tennessee originally) I dont know where to buy the spray cleaner things (yes, thats what I call them...lol i dont know the technical name or brand name.) So when it overheats I usually let it cool down for a bit then restart and just try and keep the bottom elevated so it can cool consistently.
Tonight it overheated and when I went to restart, it restarted normally until it got to the main screen. Things looked ok, but when I moved the mouse it moved for just a second and then everything froze. Not just the mouse, I tried hitting tab,etc to make things move but nothing would happen. Not even the trusty ctl-alt-del magic would happen. I restarted into safe mode and things are ok.
every time i turn on my computer, I first get a message from AMI - "SATA 1:S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD". When I press F1 to continue, it progresses normally, until recently when i got "windows is loading files" then "startup repair" instead. Startup Repair searches, then finds a hard disk problem which it cant fix, and I can choose to reboot or try "advanced options"I've already tried safe mode, same thing happens.I've looked around, still not sure how to proceed - what caused this and can it be fixed without replacing my hardware?
So I was using a program called TuneUp Utilities, and I used this function called the Disk Doctor to check for errors in my computer.While it was checking for errors, my computer shut down automatically and when I started it up again a black screen appears giving me the option to either load Startup Repair or Start Windows Normally. When I start Windows Normally, everything goes fine until I see the cursor. Nothing happens and then the computer restarts on it's own. I've even tried disabling restart on system failure but when I did that the computer just stayed at a dark screen until I restarted it.When I load Startup Repair, it searches for problems for like 5 minutes and then says it can't be automatically fixed. It says to remove all USB cables and everything (which I did but had no effect) and lets me have advanced recovery options.When I load advanced recovery options, all that appears is Startup Repair again.When I press F8 and do a Safe Mode, it starts up normally but once I see the mouse cursor the computer restarts.
Firstly I'm on Windows 7 64. Over the last few weeks I've noticed that after starting up my laptop, and logging in just fine, the screen would go black for a couple of seconds-- my cursor would appear and I could move it around, but the screen would be black. After 10 seconds or so, the Windows 7 GUI would load just fine and there I would be.
I restarted my PC at 5AM this morning and it did the same. All I did at that point was send an e-mail via Gmail and shut it down again. At 2PM I went to startup my PC and everything went as usual except the PC never left that black screen with the responsive cursor.
I searched here and found that problem many times, but with one difference-- my PC starts fine in Safe Mode.
I used Advanced System Care to fix some registry errors and am currently running a Malwarebytes full scan.
It might be worth noting that I recently installed Batman: Arkham Asylum and as it was frequently crashing, followed some advice to enable everything at startup, which I did, fixing my game problem. That was around the time the black screen first started showing up, and I assumed it was a result of more things taking place during Windows startup.
I've been looking for a fix for 5 hours and no luck- System restarts as soon as it enters the splash screen, but I can enter into safe mode - SFC /SCANNOW Detects nothing.
Tried bootrec commands and did nothing.. . Tried chkdsk /f /r and still nothing. . . Tried start up repair like 30+ times and it didn't fix it and said no root cause.
After attempting to start my Laptop in Safe Mode, it loaded drivers normally only to crash a few seconds later. A prompt message appears but is impossible to read because Windows immediately reboots upon showing the prompt.
Have a windoes 7 laptom that got the win 7 home security virus...during manual extraction, exe extensions no longer work, now constant reboot loops even going into safe mode...
I've just moved from WinXP Pro to Win7 Ultimate with a clean* install and am getting strange rebooting behavior sometimes.
I've read the post "Random reboots in Windows 7 x64 - PSU issue?" but other OSs on my computer don't have a problem and I don't know enough about win7 boot mechanics. I've also run memtest enough to know it's not my memory.

*My system is dual-booting with linux and linux runs very well with no crashes or rebooting. One thing though is that I can't install the Win7 service pack x64 because it's complaining about being unable to access the System Partition. Probably because I overwrote the MBR with linux for dual booting purposes, and yet half the time windows starts just fine.
It seems to happen only during startup or shortly thereafter. If I can make it 60 seconds past login then it seems to be okay.
Well, when I first start the computer the next day it restarts itself a few minutes after loading windows, then I go into safe mode and restart back to normal mode and the computer runs fine afterwards. It happens almost every time(on rare occasions it works fine) when I first start up the computer. It use to lock up instead of rebooting but that was solved when I uninstalled AVG anti-virus scan, so I have no idea whats happening.
My system was working really gr8 till last week.. and one fine day, i had done some updates for my win7, then it asked me to reboot and as i did.. i got the boot screen and i selected win7 and i got win7 logo blinking.. and then it again rebooted.. and this time it went to startup repair.. after i run startup repair, luckily i had some restore points.. and after i restored my system.. everytime till now , it goes to startup repair everytime i boot my system ..win7 still asks to get updated and everytime i do it or without updating also it goes to startup repair and again i restore.. it is like a loop
I installed a new SSD disk the other day, enabled AHCI and changed boot order so that the SSD was first and then booted with my Windows 7 DVD where I deleted the previous Windows installation that was on my regular HDD so that it became an unformatted drive. Then I installed Windows onto the SSD.
Now, sometimes when I boot my computer it reboots on the Windows logo only to go to recommend Startup Repair, but it works when I choose to boot normally this second time. Don't tell me I have to reinstall Windows just because I didn't unplug my two other (unformatted) drives when installing on the SSD?
the computer I am concerned with is running Windows 7 with IE8, Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I am currently in Safe Mode with Networking without issue.The owner of the computer says that something happened earlier today while he was online that sounds like some false antivirus popup, but he's unsure. Here are the symptoms in normal mode. Every application, from moving through them to opening and closing them, runs exceptionally slow - one to three minutes to open, at least a minute to open internet pages. I noticed that, when in IE, as the pages are loading the IE page disappears and reappears. I am not very familiar with Windows 7 so I don't know if it is related. The computer seems to be getting slower as the day goes on. CPU usage is very high.So far, I have disabled many startup items that were unnecessary. I ran CCleaner and cleaned up. MBAM was run in both normal and safe mode, full scans, and found nothing. This is also posted in Viruses and Malware, but I'm unsure where it should live.
window 7 working on safe mode and unable to choose the another restoration point and it is not loading in normal mode -after installed third party software worked on that for few hours, then after switched off and later it switched on then after this problem started, automatic repair done, nothing is notified
