I have Microsoft XP. This morning, my PC won't take me to the account members screen. After it goes to the XP logo, it restarts itself, then goes to the XP logo, then it starts again. What is happening to my PC? And can I correct this problem without losing any of my saved data?
After I used Fix-it Utlilies the program erased essential system folders. So now when I do check disk it reboots, flashes a blue screen real fast (so fast I can't even read it) then restarts the computer, restarts check disk, restarts the computer, and on & on. It won't stop doing this till I interrupt check disk at the start by hitting any key but then I end up with a black screen with instructions which include safe mode, safe mode with networking, start windows normally & last known configuration
I can't boot from an installation CD to do a "repair" since Windows was preinstalled in the drive so I have NO CD. Does system recovery work?, who knows, I'm a noob and have no idea how to use it. The only thing I've tried to fix it was 2 things : 1) use system restore which failed; 2) use run> sfc /scannow but this file checker is also broken and will barely start before it errors and stops. I don't know what else to do besides reformat
When I turn the computer on as soon as the welcome screen comes up to sign in, a window pops up saying "The system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Time before shutdown: [counts down from 1 min] Message: the system process 'C:WINDOWSsystem32services.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741482. The system will now shut down and restart."
I have tried system restore which is unsuccessful, I have done "last known good configuration" which also doesn't work. I'm in grad school and need my computer
the computer boots up and goes to the windows 2000 screen but then the next screen would be the desktop but instead it reboots and goes to the same spot the 2000 screen but never makes it to the desktop, this happens over and over. I tried to go into safe mode but does the same thing tried command prompt only so I could type in SCANREG but it just reboots again I can't get anywhere to do anything.
The last thing I tried was last known good configuration. I clicked on it and a page comes up with all the writing I hardly got a chance to read it when it reboot again. but under the first paragraph wher it says something about last know good configuration it has a space and the it says project 1 like I could have click on that if I would have been fast enough.
When I shut down my computer it restarts. I am using a Compaq Deskpro EN with windows 2000 operating system.

I just bought this computer about 4 months ago and over the last few days it has been randomly restarting on its own. I ran adaware and scanned for viruses with norton and they found nothing. Yesterday it restarted a couple of times, one time I had firefox and paint shop pro open, the other time, I had outlook express open. I'm not sure what could be causing this, the only thing I've installed within the last two days was the latest expansion pack for sims 2.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy wife fired up her PC this morning and it would not complete the boot process. Shows Windows XP page, then COMPAQ page, then black screen, then back to Windows XP page. Just keeps going in circles. I have switched it off and tried again but usually with same results. A couple of times I have gotten page saying there was a problem and asking if I wanted to start in safe mode. I've tried this. Seems to rapidly scroll through a bunch of lines of info, then quickly go back to the reboot cycle. I can go into setup or recovery from the COMPAQ page. I want to avoid having to reload all my wife's applications though. I don't have the original XP disk. I have current antivirus/spyware (AVG paid version, installed about a week ago). We've made no other recent hardware/software changes, although my daughter was on the net last night!

View 14 Replies View RelatedA couple of weeks ago my computer started to act very strangely and after sending numerous windows errors it began to restart on its own for about 5 mins then restart again.It continued in this loop and actually the loop became smaller to the point where I couldn't even get onto the log on screen and it just kept saying press 'ctrl, alt, delete'.When I did it just restarted to the same point (small loop).I asked a few IT bods and they said that it couldn't read from the hard drive and managed to get a XP boot disk and it then started to run but not to my log on page. The page had a 'run' button instead of start.I copied over all of the files from the disk to the hard drive and ran it from there.Then hey presto I was back on to my log on page and home page.Then exactly the same thing happened.The error pop ups began and it began to shut down and restart.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy computer keeps restarting. I tried everything I could find on google with no prevail Within minutes of turning on my computer it restarts. I followed one suggestion un checked an option "restart computer when computer crashes" and now it just freezes within minutes of startup. It doesn't, however, freeze in safe mode if that makes a difference.I've tried pretty much every virus/spyware program in the book so I don't think thats the problem.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLast night my girlfriends daughter tried to install a game on her PC (one of these tycoon games) it froze half way through installing and then switched itself off. When trying to restart it, it asks whether to restart in Normal or Safe mode etc and then it gets as far as the Microsoft Windows XP screen and then restarts itself again.It gets to the same stage everytime and restarts. It won’t allow me to start in safe or normal mode.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI think my computer may have some kind of virus. None of my antivirus and spyware programs are picking it up. My computer just keeps on restarting. It seems that it restarts when too many programs are running and when I am away from the computer for more then half an hour. I never noticed it automatically restarting until about two days ago. Everytime I leave the computer and come back, it has been restarted. How do I fix this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI heard a computer show today where the host was saying you should restart XP after three days or so because it slows down, gets buggy, ect. Yet I had heard it said you could leave in on for weeks or months.... which is correct?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy computer restarts once in a while at random times. I don't think it has anything to do with the programs I use at the time because it seems to restart even if I'm not doing anything but listen to music. There are also times when my computer just stops. However, sometimes the error messages are different. I've received 0x0000007F and 0x000000DE error messages before. I've tried replace my old 300 watt power supply with a 420, but I still get error messages. I've run memtest and found no errors with my memory. The file that I attached to this post contains my most recent minidump of one of the three errors and a Hijack This log.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a computer running XP Pro. Today I installed some new software (tax software) and also installed a few current windows updates. After restarting my computer, the desktop has disappeared. When I try to right click to bring up a menu, nothing happens. When I try to save a file to the desktop, it apparently does, but no icon shows up.I don't think it's a virus of any type (but what do I know!) because this computer has not been used in some time.

Tried a Repair using XP CD on a 2 year old computer with XP home on it because it was not quite booting to the desktop.It took me all the way through the setup process when it restarted the computer and now presents with the message "Setup is restarting." and then a blank screen with a mouse (which is moveable) appears.The XP disk is still in the CD drive and HD Tune did not pick up any bad sectors when I plugged the disk drive into a USB port on my other computer.Is there any DOS commands from the Recovery section I should be using to check something ?

However, when i play games i have a problem which has been continuing for a very long time. When i load up a game it works alright, loads up then my computer restarts. for example, i have downloaded the eragon demo just for the sake of it and i load it up, it loads the demo and jsut as the controlled gameplay starts my computer restarts everytime. It is the same problem on every game that ive had for along time and i don't know what is wrong or why.

I sincerely hope you can succeed where others have failed. Since flashing my BIOS recently, I have been unable to shutdown my PC without it restarting automatically. I am aware of some possible causes i.e Roxio, I do not have that on my system. It is something that occured since the flash upgrade. The upgrade I used was Award BIOS TypePhoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG I have set optimum values in BIOS and tried shutting down from safe mode to eliminate any added USB devices etc.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI ran CHKDSK for errors on Windows XP Pro on the C: drive of my IBM laptop, with both options of 'Automatically fix file system errors' and 'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors' being checked before I rebooted. The disk check happened, the computer restarted, CHKDSK started again, and the whole process kept repeating itself until I had to press any key to stop CHKDSK within 10 seconds. After this the computer stopped working, and I had to do a forced shutdown and restart to get it to work again. I had Windows XP reloaded last week due to a Map Network Drive error which couldn't be sorted out for a number of weeks.

This has happened several times now, only at night (maybe once a week or two), possibly but not certainly at the same time. Firfox is able to recover but Office is not! And I've already lost hours of work from not saving frequently enough
