System Reboots Continuously - Download A Registry Cleaner
Aug 19, 2009
My 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.

About two weeks ago, I was going to buy "register Mechanic" cleaner and I believe a "John" answered my question with a good free register cleaner. Reg Scrub" which I used two times. The last time I also ran "Seek & Destore", and it took out the Reg. Scrub. Where can I go to again download it.

The HP machine boots up and right after the Windows XP loading screen a blue screen flashes and then the computer restarts. I put a XP Home CD in and tried to repair the machine, but all i got was a command prompt where i ran the chkdsk. It came back saying "found one or more errors on the volume" What would be the best solution for this?

Though my computer has never been what you'd call fast,recently it seems to have slowed down a bit further. Nothing unbearable, just a few seconds of extra lag when opening a program or folder, but enough to catch my attention and prove bothersome.It also wasn't there when I built this computer about a year or so ago, so I feel it must be something I can fix.I run Spybot and Ad-aware fairly regularly, with no results, and also have McAfee to watch for viruses.At the moment I am considering trying a registry cleaner to see if it will help, though I thought it might be better to stop by here first and see if there's something else I haven't tried or thought of first.

I have just purchased Registry Mechanic, and am so far disappointed in it. I used to be somewhat technically inclined, back in the days of DOS I ran a computer lab, but I really haven't had time to keep up.
Still, I know more than most people... Anyway, I bought this proggy thinking it would give me a bit more
information than just going into regedit and poking around without a net. So far, it doesn't. I knew it would suggest changes that I would be able to accept/reject one at a time. But the information it gives
is pretty useless for making the decision. And it is not like there is a manual explaining what all this means. Also I am skeptical since it found 106 "problems" and this computer is less than a week old.
Does any kind soul care to comment on a few illustrative examples?
Example 1:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAudioCDshellPlayWithPowerDVDcommand
default = CProgram FilesCyberLinkPowerDVDPowerDVD.exe%1
OK, so this is "High Priority." Very dramatic. And the value is invalid, but the value of what? And the value is set to delete. Should I be wondering whether this value needs to be fixed rather than just deleted? I more or less understand "location"...this is where in the registry the invalid value can be found. But I don't understand "default." Is this the default setting of the invalid value? Is Reg Cleaner proposing to reset the value to the default? What if the system was intentionally configured differently from the default? Am I even asking the right questions? Example 2:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{CC2C83A6-9BE4-11D0-98E7-00C04FC2CAF5]InprocServer32
SystemDB = C:WINDOWSsystem32system.mdw
Again, I get that it is high priority, a value is invalid and should be deleted. Again, not sure if it ought to be fixed rather than deleted. Again, understand location more or less. Not sure what "SystemDB =" is proposing to do. Really not sure what to make of this. Example 3:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCyberLinkPowerDVD
SrcDir = C:FalconDriversDVDPowerDVD 4.0 - Sony Bundle
In looking for examples I've just realized that the soultion in every case is "set to delete." What is SrcDir? What is this telling me?

Regards to all, this is my first posting and I believe that you will be gentle to me. I am looking for a tool/software that can manage my system registry files. I know that I can get them online but I need to try them before I actually use them so that I can be sure of the results. I have read lot's of reviews and found out that currently, the best registry cleaner on the market is Digeus Registry Cleaner.

I've been looking for a good registry cleaner. But before I buy one, can anyone recommend any good ones for me? The price really isn't an issue. Does anyone have any first hand experience with any registry cleaner they have used before?

Using internet and 1st time I've received the following pop up - "Registry Cleaner Recommended" with an exclamation mark in side a yellow triangle.It says:"Errors in your Windows registry database, if present, could cause erratic operation and other computer problems, including: Slow system performance, slow start up, freezes/system crashes.Details: to ensure system is operatingly correctly, strongly recommend you scan and clean your Windows registry database by running Registry Cleaner now"May sound silly but this is ad-ware right? Shouldn't Ad-Aware and Avast prevent pop ups like these? Or is there a program that i should download to prevent these?

I downloaded some Registry cleaner program and I guess it was a crappy one because it must have deleted a whole bunch of important registry files. I had to reboot my system and got a message saying "ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted" so in my infinite wisdom and panicked state I ran the XP recovery disks that came with my laptop (see laptop details below). But for some odd reason it just installed another version of Windows XP. Anyways after some sleuthing I used the XP disk to copy over the "ntoskrnl.exe" to my HD and all seemed okay as my original version of XP booted up okay, but then I get a blue XP screen saying "AutoChk.exe file not found- skipping AUTOCHECK" and the system restarts

I rebooted after a software install and could not get back into Windows. The machine just does a continuous reboot after the XP Splash Screen. Finally got it to give me a corrupted registry file error message. After googling, it seems this has been fairly common occurrence. A simple repair install, right? Well, my OEM version of Windows does not give me a repair option(something else that many people have found with all different versions of Windows) I can get into the Recovery Console but this is not
what I need. When I skip the RC and press F8 at the Licensing Screen I can get to the "Repair Screen" but when I highlight the installation of Windows to repair, THERE IS NO REPAIR OPTION, only a INSTALL option and pressing 'R' does nothing

This is not so much a problem as a request for help and advice. I have had my system now for around a year and have uninstalled and re installed alot of games and programs. Ive noticed i have accumulated quite alot of files in various places which i probably dont need so i was wondering if theres a program or method out there to get rid of this rubbish. I am already using registry mechanic (latest version) and ccleaner but have noticed there are still bits left in the registry which dont look like there doing anything. Any help on cleaning out my pc and maybe making it run a bit faster by maybe disabling or removing parts.

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.

I was not able to install a new version of an engineering software package because something was left behind in the registry from the older version that I had removed. So I stupidly deleted a couple of registry keys that looked related to the software without documenting them (not just the tags, but the folders with the long alphanumeric strings). Now when I try to install the software it gives me an error. I ran system restore but the problem is still there (I don't think it restored the registry keys I deleted). Is there a way to install all of the default Windows SP2 registry keys or to download and reinstall SP2 in general?

I am trying to use the system restore function on windows XP, but every time i select a restore point and the system reboots, it says that the restoration was incomplete and "no changes have been made." I have tried multiple restore points. Microsoft.com suggested that i verify that the task manager, WMI, and system restore services were running, and they are. I also tried disabling my antivirus program, but the same thing happens.

I come to you with a rather strange problem. I come to you because I have no idea where to begin diagnosing such a problem. I just ordered parts for a brand new computer, built it, and am now running it very happily. However, within the past few days (the computer was finished being built about a week ago), it's started randomly rebooting while undertaking routine tasks in Windows. There seems to be no logical software-related pattern to the reboots so I have no idea what's causing it. It happens thus: audio skips for a few seconds, I hear a click inside the computer, and then it just restarts.
As I said, there seems to be no software pattern to the reboots... The only recent hardware change is that I've put in the Firewire card (it came in later than the rest of the computer, so I ran a few days without it). I almost want to suspect the Firewire card is causing such a problem -- is that reasonable?
In addition to that, I have an external USB hard drive that's failing... it's connected via the Firewire, and one of the restarts happened when I turned off the drive. Assuming that means it's one of those two, could it be the hard drive or the Firewire from that?

I am really without a clue, the only hardware modification I have done is install two more 512mb sticks of ram. I had two and installed 2 more all same type Kingston ValueRAM 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200). So now I am running 2 gigs of ram. It rebooted and I got the boots screen to choose type of boot.....last good config, ect....I chose normal and it gave me the xp windows screen with the horizontal progress graphic and then it kinda hangs on a black screen for a bit and finally it will give me the user/password window.

I have a Sony Pentium 4 and Windows XP Professional. Things were working fine up until about 3 weeks ago when suddenly the system would reboot when I tried to print. The error message would take me to the Windows Update page and tell me to update the ethernet adapter, which was erroneous as it referred to an adapter I don't have. I've tried to delete the printer, but when I open the printer folder in Control Panel the system reboots before I can delete anything. I've upgraded the driver for the printer, which is an Epson C62. I've tried a system restore

I cloned a desktop with dual boot for windows xp and windows vista in the respected order. after cloning, I went to an identical desktop and make the image restore so that it will be similar to the other one. I did this to save time installing and updating again which take so much time. after the restoring of the image is done, the system rebooted and represented the dual boot options (1. earlier version of windows, 2. Windows Vista) but when you click any of them it wont work and it will reboot in endless loop

I have a XP system that I thought I had fixed (random rebooting) this is pasted from my last post....
Now the machine.... Antec case with true 380s power supply, ABIT AV8 board,2 sticks of pc3200 512 mb ddr400 ram , Amd Athlon64 3500+ (not oc) ,Nvidia geoforcefx 5900xt card running XP Pro with SP1 installed.
What I have tried ...ran antivirus , ran spywarecleaner, defrag, ran memtest,adjusted to failsafe defaults in bios , flashed the bios, tried diff combinations of slots for memory, upgrade driver , upgraded via 4-1 drivers
A couple days ago figured it must be power supply (brand new one too) so I started unplugging devices ..second cd rom and fan pulled and everything has been running great since.Question before I drop $60 on power supply what should I look for , where is a good supplier and most important do you think this will solve the problem.

I am trying to reinstall windows using Windows Media Center Edition 2005. I ran the compatability wizard and everything seems to check out. Whenever I boot from cd, I get a black screen that says Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration. It stays there for about 5 seconds then reboots. If I attempt the same thing with WinXP Pro SP2 it loads fine.
I tried removing some ram, my extra dvd and hard drives, the external devices, and the pci cards. Still the same problem.

My PC which I finished rebuilding on Thursday has been fine until today when it just restarts for no reason at all. The restarts are very random and very often, sometimes it restarts when Windows XP is loading, not good for keeping the boot files okay. Does anybody know what this may be, I haven't made any recent changes to the OS or hardware since I rebuilt it (and it has been fine since then).
