Upgrade Computer Keeps Rebooting: Old Hard?
Nov 25, 2006
I am having some problems with my brother's computer, which used to be a emachine w888 and lucky for us had never had problems with it till the motherboard before it recently was fried! So my mom and I decided to upgrade his entire computer and the only part that is actually part of the WHOLE emachine is the hard drive put into the new tower.So we got in the new barebone system and the mobo in it is a K7MNF-64 with an AMD XP Thoruoghbred 2800+ *even though the reciept says different for our motherboard*. Anyways the computer is running Win XP Home SP2 and whatever is on our emachine restore CD. Well we turned it on and the computer automatically tells us to select the computer to start normally or boot in safemode with or without netowrking. Well any selction we choose after the computer just reboots.

I just installed a new hard drive then I installed windows XP SP2 on the disk and the computer keeps rebooting and I'm getting a blue screen c000221 unknown hard error. Then I re-install windows 2000 it works Ok. Then I installed windows XP SP1 it work OK, then I installed the SP2 and the computer started to reboot again. I used drive jujitsu and it was OK. So what is the issue with SP2 and the Maxtor drive anyone knows or has seeing this issue?

I had a computer with WINXP and a celeron chip. I changed motherboards to a Tyan with a 1.5 Pentium4. I reused the hard drives and when I start up the computer it gives me the message that Windows was not shut down properly and do I want to go toa last know restart or start in safe mode or start windows normally.No matter what i do, the computer will start to boot and then it reboots itself and the process starts all over again.

I have an older PII running XP home, with (2) 10 gig hard drives. Both are full, and I want to upgrade to a larger drive that I can install as a backup drive in a future computer.The drive I'm looking at is a Seagate 250 Gig ATA-100 IDE.However, my hard drive controller says it supports "Ultra-33".So,
1)Will the 120 gig drive work ( I assume i'll need to partition it)
2)If so, could someone please walk me through the steps to get the new drive going, what I want to do is migrate Everything from both drives to this one big one.
I assume I'll set it up slave, load XP onto it, then set it up as a master, then just copy the files?

I have installed alot of software, hardware, and networking stuff in my computer. Now I am having random rebooting. I checked the event logs and there are save dumps at the time of reboot as follows: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x100000d1 (0x00000008, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0xba60891b).

Starting yesterday my comp has begun to restart for no particular reason. Sometimes I can be on for a while, other times I can barely do a thing before it reboots. I first noticed it when I went to an Amazon page. I thought nothing of it, but upon going back to that same page it happened again. I assumed their must have been some bug in the page causing that, however unlikely that seemed. But soon after the computer was restarting seemingly at random. And for some odd reason if I click on my Ad Aware desktop icon this will also prompt the comp to restart. I'm stumped. I'm hoping it's just some virus I managed to pick up, and not a problem with the hard drive.

I have a bad hard drive. I bought a new one and was in the process of re-loading Windows XP onto the new drive. I bought the computer with Windows ME on it and paid for the XP Upgrade. The only CDs I have are the XP Upgrade CD and the Comqaq "Recovery CD".The XP Load is requesting that I put in the old Windows ME CD to verify that I can load the Windows XP Upgrade OS, but I don't have the CD.

I have a Compaq SR-1200NX system that came with a 40gb drive. It was too small for all my music and apps so I installed a second drive which I then started using for files.So Drive 1 was 40 gb and Drive 2 was 80GB..I was running out of space again so I used a drive cloner to move the 40 GB drive to a 200GB Drive.Disk Management shows different according to it Drive 0 is the 80gb drive and is assigned a letter of D and Drive 1 is the 200GB drive assigned a letter of C.Both C and D have a Windows directory off of and a Program Files but the Program Files on C has more entries than the one on D.

Programs closing out on their own or just hanging up.
Below are two logs you might need to help me. I've tried a system restore but it does not have any dates prior to Feb 4th which is also odd because it's always been on. I've run Spybot and Ad-Aware and AVG with no luck.

I don't have an easy way of backing up all the data, as I can't move and copy files, and the largest USB key/SD card I have right now is 512MB. I can't directly move files, the way I've found to work around this problem is to put all the files I want in a zip file and then extract it into the location I want.
So she doesn't want to format if possible, and I would really like to know what caused this problem, although it seems like 1 problem that spawned into many, as if someone took control of the computer and started disabling things. Any ideas would very much be appreciated

My Computer keeps rebooting. It does this several times a day. It started about 2 weeks ago. When it reboots it says the computer has recovered from a serious error, and a few click here links, leading me to a .dmp and a .xls file. It doesn't matter what I am doing.
Sometimes I'll click a desktop icon .reboot. Then click a link from my email pop client.reboot. Or maybe I click a link in my browser.reboot. it's not one thing that I do, when it decides to reboot. I unchecked the auto restart button, and got this blue screen.
I have not added any new Hardware or software. I formatted and re installed new Windows XP Pro Sp2 3 days ago, hoping it was software virus related NOPE Is something wrong with my usb ports? The CPU fan is working goot and the temps are good, do it's not over heating.

my computer has been running abnormally slow, and I don't mean 5-10 seconds for a program to load, more minutes. Once, it took, from turning the computer on, to arriving on desktop a total of 12 minutes, that was without half the stuff even loading by then!
The slow speed usually occurs when rebooting, I left my computer on for serveral days and eventually it worked good as ever.
I'm not sure if it matters, but soon before loading the desktop, there's a weird grinding type noise coming from the computer, this lasts for about 5-6 seconds, and happens several times.

I do document conversions. I work with MS Word files anywhere from 6MB to 23MB in size. If I reboot the computer and start a processing task I get no hangs. However, the longer I work on a task like a "find and replace", the slower the computer's processing gets and then I run out of virtual memory. When run out of virtual memory, I can no longer save the file.
Is there a way to reset or empty out the memory of my computer system without rebooting the system? I can copy and paste a small amount of text like a comma, but that does not help the memory problem. Edited to correct spelling error.

My computer randomly crashes and also reboots on it's own a few times a week, but I'm sure this isn't normal.I'm running Windows XP.There's no pattern when these problems occur. I could be surfing the web, playing a game or my computer would sit and idle for a little bit... then it'll reboot. This started happening a few weeks ago, but figured I could live with it. Unfortunately, it's gotten on my last nerve and I really wanna know why it does these things and how I can fix the problems.

My Computer is stuck in some rebooting cycle. I have XP home edition. Every time I log in it shows my desktop with no icons, sits then logs off. I've tried safe mode with the same result. I've tried booting with my XP cd with same result. I read somewhere that it might be a virus

I am upgrading the hard drive for my pavilion ze5400 laptop the original has a smart error and at on point stopped working alltogether though is decent at the moment.The original drive is an ata-100 30gb, The replacement is a western digital scorpio blue 250 gb at first i was getting an error trying to load xp saying STOP: c0000221 Unknown Hard Error SystemRootSystem32 tdll.dll, I eventually tried a duplicate xp bootable setup cd and it worked fine up to the partition stage. I made two partitions and formatted them. When I got back to check the status on the second the computer was just black. Now when I boot off the xp cd I just see black and if I don't load and just let the comp try to start up it says ntldr not present (or something close to that) press ctrl alt del to restart.

I recently learned that I can not use the upgrade copy of XP Pro that I own and used to upgrade from XP Home on my Dell Notebook computer.Dell is sending me a full version of XP Pro so I can format and load it.I registered the Upgrade version of XP Pro with Microsoft. How do I unregister the copy so I can give it to my Brother since I not longer need it and he currently has XP Home and an HP notebook?
