Is there a way to tell WinXP home to NOT reboot on errors from the recovery console? I tried to do a windows update and now windows won't boot past the splash screen. It gives a blue screen but reboots too fast to read it. I have had this repair successfully ONE time using a combination of CHKDSK /r and the windows repair (like 3 times each) but the problem came back when the windows update kicked in.

I remember hearing that SP3 caused some HP AMD systems to continuously reboot when it was first released. I have a pavilion a810n(amd 64 3300+, 1.5gb ram, x800gto 512mb video) and have not yet downloaded service pack 3 and it recently showed up in automatic updates but im not sure if i should install it or not. Has the issue been fixed yet? What are the chances that my pc will have issues?

Or at least something similar. Is there a fix for this? I haven't been able to find anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo, my dad's small business server (Windows 2003 Server for Small Businesses, HP Proliant Systems) crashes on startup, without exception, starting yesterday. Every single time I boot up Windows, it dies before getting to the login screen. Please help, as my huge important thesis papers are on there, due next week, and I'm basically ****ed if I can't recover them. Being the idiot I am, I didn't back them up, so that's about 3 months of work right there. If you guys can help me fix this, you are my saviors.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been having problems lately with my computer - every time i switch it on, it goes to standby. Worse still, it keeps going on standby even when it's on standby. Makes sense? It's like it's posessed!I've googled this problem, and it appears that it's a hardware problem, BUT, when i log in on safe mode, the problem disappears. So, being an average computer user, i'm pretty puzzled in the least. I have no idea what the problem was - I didn't install anything lately, or visit any webpages outside my usual ones. I haven't found a virus that acts this way, so I've ruled it out for now.
View 14 Replies View RelatedRecently I was having problems with my computer so I used the system recovery cd I received when I bought the computer and went through all the necessary steps to make it happen, but for some reason this time instead of being able to log back onto windows, it said my windows was not fully installed. At this point, I used the Windows XP recovery cd and deleted the partition my old windows was on and followed the necessary steps to install it, except once it gets up to the point of "Installing Devices", there is a little bar to the left and shows the progress and it gets up to about halfway and the computer restarts and it continues in this endless cycle unless.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install windows xp sp 2 over windows xp on 2 computers and the same thing has happened with each computer.I get down to 36 minutes left - installing drivers - and the setup restarts. I tried to remove the cd and xp then asks for the cd telling me it needs the asms driver, xp then is directed to search e:I386. Xp looks for it there then spontaneously restarts again. The setup is in an endless loop going from 39 minutes remaining till 34 then restarting over and over again. How can I stop this and/or correct this? I did some research at the microsoft site but I have been unable to make anything work.

Another 10 seconds later (or around that) explorer.exe will start again and my desktop will come back. Eventually, it stops trying to load and the desktop stays off. I can go to task manager and run explorer.exe to repeat the process of having explorer.exe run, stop, run, etc. I don't receive any error messages when this happens. This machine has the latest Microsoft updates incl service pack 2.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a problem that has haunted my computer for a couple of years now. If/when I suffer a power loss at home and my computer goes down unexpectedly, this problem is most likely to occur. When I power the thing back up, it seems to be fine but if I let it sit idle for an hour or so, the hard drive starts running full blast and it won't stop. It brings everything to a halt and even if I try to open a program or a webpage, it takes several minutes. I have had task manager open when this lockup occurs and the CPU shows to be doing little or nothing. The hard drive light doesn't flicker like during startup, it's on solid. The only thing I can do to stop it is a hard reboot. This problem eventually works itself out after a few days or a couple of weeks...until the power goes out again. I have ran two different anti-virus', spyware, and come up with nothing. None of the processes in the task manager seem to be out of the ordinary. I have tried to defrag but Windows says it is not needed at this time. If I try to defrag anyway, it locks up after a while, hard drive spinning way. I'm not too techie so the fix needs to be simple, or give me a way to stop the HD without rebooting.
View 12 Replies View RelatedMy free file space on my C Drive has constantly been dropping by the second. sometimes by megabits sometimes by gigs. It will go down to zero and then out of nowhere go back up to about 1.3 gigs. Which is what I should have. I have restarted my comp and it does not fix it. I have downloaded crap cleaner and it did not fix it. downloaded spy ware and it did not. Finally I found a software called where'd my space go. I found that the amount of space is about right except on my C drive (not in any folders) but on the first page when you click into the drive there is supposedly 1.5 gigs of files according to the software. When I go there there is about 12 megabits worth of stuff even when I am showing hidden files. I don't think this is normal and I can't figure out how to get to it or delete it

View 7 Replies View RelatedI ran program to i.d. multiple file copies and removed. Apparently I removed more than the extra copies. On next restart the HP screen comes up and continually recycles. I attempted to recover using the XP disc provided with the computer. About every 10th time I startup, the install screen appears and indicates that files are loading from the disc. Upon completion the "computer will restart/hit enter" screen appears, but the system shuts down. Called HP support, they told me to take to authorized service center "to change some settings".
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy computer has always worked fine until last night i decided to download a registry cleaner and ran it. I also defragged the drive and when i restarted it just kept rebooting. I have now already tried the following:
-memory swaps
-hardware removal
-repairing windows
-reloading windows
the problem remains the same i get as far as first screen alerting me that i can push del to enter setup or bios etc. Then the system reboots and starts all over again.
My computer is stuck in what i think of as a restart loop. After powering on, windows xp screen appears (w/moving bar at bottom) sits there for about 7-10 sec then screen goes blank and about 3 sec later it restarts. Windows login does not appear. It will continously loop thru this process. At first Safe mode only started with out networking options. But now I can't start in safe mode at all it just reboots the computer after the scrolling screen of items being started. I am not sure what this could be, and have no idea how to get at least safe mode working.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI created an alternate folder for some IE favorites back when i was having trouble importing favorites into Outlook 2002. I then marked it "dump this" so i'd know to dump it when I got straightened out. Well, now I'm straigtened out, but windows xp won't allow me to dump the folder, saying it's a "windows system folder and is needed by windows to run properly. It cannot be deleted." I've tried renaming it, etc, but it didn't work.I want to chuck this darn thing- It's really not that big a deal, frankly, just a matter of XP telling me I can't do something and it's annoying and I don't want XP to think it can get away with bossing me around.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to pull some information regarding a startup stop error (blue screen). Since I haven't written down the actual stop error I was hoping that this info can be found at the dump file. The problem is that I cannot locate this file (I'm using debugging tools for windows x86 November version). It simply doesn't exists although my system is set up to create a small memory dump at the root directory. What shall I do in order to ensure that a dump file is created? Are there any other ways to pull out BSOD information without actually writing down this info myself?
