Desktop Continually Restarts Itself, Followed By Blue Screen
Nov 15, 2008
I have a HPDV8000 laptop and somehow managed to pick up this Antivirus XP 2008 Trojan Horse at some point. Pop ups about viruses etc were coming up so I used lavasoft's adaware and it seemed to remove it. After a cold boot, the desktop constantly restarts itself, followed by 0X0000008E Blue Screen. If I boot in safe mode with or without network connections, it does the same thing. If it sits at windows login. for any length of time the same blue screen stop codes come up.
My desktop currently boots, but before starting XP displays a warning that the system was restarted to protect from data loss after an unexpected start or system failure. All of the options (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with networking, last known good configuration, and start normally) don't work, they all lead to a short start-up and then the system restarts. I turned off auto-restart on system failure to see the blue screen that would tell me the error, and the error I got was "*** STOP: 0x00000024", which from what I've researched usually has to with a corrupted ntfs.sys file but I'm not sure. I tried booting the Windows Recovery Console from the OS choice menu and that goes straight to the error, and booting the System Recovery disc lets me start up the process, but when I press "r" to run the normal fixes (that don't include wiping the drive) the process goes nowhere. It starts, but after finished the loading bar it goes to a solid baby blue screen.
I direly need my files off of the hard drive, so I'm not really looking at a full system recovery as an option, I just need something that'll buy me enough time to transfer most of the content on the hard drive (around 160 gigs) to an external hard drive.
I've also tried testing both sticks of RAM by removing one and then the other to see if one is bad, but the error still persists.
Hello, I am new to this website, and need some serious help. I have a Gateway GT 5028 that is about a year a half old. I came home today to turn it on, and the only thing that happens is the fans both work, the cd drive lights come on, the power button light comes on, and the orange cpu light comes on. After a few seconds the cd lights flash again, and they repeat this process. The screen, keyboard, and mouse do not work. The monitor stays black the whole time. It has windows xp on it. I got it at Best buy, but it is out of warranty. It seems as if the computer continually restarts?
When I turned my computer on this morning it starts up but when it gets to the boot screen it gives me a blue screen but my computer instantaniously restarts so i have no idea what it said. What should I do I'm using ERD Commander 2005 and that let me boot into my computer but its limited I've never used ERD Commander before I've tryed a few things but nothing has worked yet
For the last couple days I have been having this issue. All of a sudden my computer goes blank, a blue screen appears for a split second and then it restarts. I can't even read the blue screen it goes by so quick. Is there anyway for me to find out what it is saying? Is there a log somewhere or something?
I recently started to get the blue screen of death on my computer. I am not sure how to fix it but its really annoying me. I just formatted my computer because it was doing this previous, and i thought formatting my computer would fix it.
As the thread title probably shows, I've been having some difficulties with my system as of late. At first I thought it might have been some bad memory so I changed it out for 2 completely different sticks of RAM, but the symptoms persist.Shortly after loading Windows (XP latest patch) I will be going on about my business and the system sometimes freezes, at other times reboots, and often blue screens. I rarely get the chance to catch the blue screen error messages as the system tends to restart immediately afterward.
I'm having the same problem with my Acer Aspire 5100....computer all of a sudden goes to blue screen and restarts. It's never long enough to read the blue screen though.
I have a dell inspiron 6400 notebook and i have windows xp home edition installed. i am getting the blue screen error message sometime after my computer starts. and then automatically my computer restarts. however, my computer works normally in safe mode.what should i do to make my computer work correctly and i dont want to spend any money as i just bought it a few months ago.
My computer started to do this wierd thing where it would load at the windows screen, then go to a blue screen, then restart.It tells me its shutting down to prevent memory loss, also tells me these numbers: 0x0000007E (0xC0000006, 0x806A276D, 0xF789E6E8, 0xF789E3E4)Before this started Windows prompted me to download a service pack, It worked fine ulti about two days later.So I start the computer in safe mode and do system restore, that doesent work. I started again and did a virus scan and it wouldent let me. So after trying and trying I finally gave up, I had nothing i wanted on that hard drive, so I decided just to reinstall windows. I pop the CD in there, and it asks me if I want to repair, I tried that. Now it wont even let me run safe mode.I do boot from cd, but when it loads the CD i cant see anything but a blue screen, like it froze or my screen doesent load it.
I have given my sister my old Averatec laptop that has Windows XP on it. While she is using it, eventually a blue screen appears, which is the precursor to it restarting suddenly. It happens so fast that we cannot read what the blue screen says. After it starts back up, we get a microsoft report saying a serious error has occured. This might not help, but I'll list it just in case. The error signature is:Is this a virus? If so, is there any hope without reformatting? I accidentally uninstalled the program that contained the OS files when I first got the computer.
I have a laptop with Windows XP Professional SP2. I get the following error messages in my system recently, and there will be a blue screen that pops up for 2 seconds, i am unable to read the message but the system restarts, this happens frequently now and some times i am able to use my system and found a pop up message saying "system has recovered from serious error" and get the error codes.recent activity that had done is i tried to uninstall .net framework v1.1 in my system as felt that i had .NETframework v2 installed in my system so it wudnt be of no use in my system.is it related with it or anything else as i wanna prevent my system crash, Please provide me a proper solution.
I bought a new video card. i think it might be faulty but i want to be sure before I RMA it.i switched out all the RAM put new RAM in, switched around the old RAM in different slots, its not the RAM.i actually had to install XP on the brand new hard drive from another computer because when I tried on my old computer it would blue screen at the "windows is starting" part so now that it has a fresh windows with all the updates i put it back on the new computer and it blue screens at the loading part of booting windows the hard drive still works on my other computer but not my new one. the new one doesn't have on board video and I dont have another pcie video card to put in to check if its the video card i baught that is causing the problem. i dont know much about BIOS anything but i have a feeling it might have something to do with updating the BIOS?
one of my friend is having a problem with his Fujitsu Siemens Laptop (Win XP - Dot know the SP), whenever the laptop starts it shows the blue screen and restarts itself, so there is jo way you can login to the win xp, the following msg is displayed on the blue screen. the error is in Polish Language but i guess you can understand the error by the path it is giving

two days ago i used my computer, i turned it off and took it back home from office. the next morning i tried to turn it on it flashed the blue screen and restarted. Now I am no computer expert so I don't know why this has happened all i can tell you is that it worked the night before i didn't download a thing and then it stopped.
can anyone could help me?My computer is an IBM laptop. It has windows XP installed and its very helpful but soo annoying. I have all my photos on it..anyone who answers and remember; i am not very computer smart so easy words!
At the beginning I thought I have it only whne I am using a special program. Now I saw I may have it even when I am not doing anything special - like reading a webpage. However, the main problem is when I am running Adobe Encore DVD - that program runs for a long while. Everytime it crashes (I mean win XP crashes with a blue screen). I have checked the event logger that what it says: 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0x86764ec0, 0x86764f60, 0x0a140014) but most of the time I get the following: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0x804c6c2f, 0xf3e1cb30, 0x00000000).
I have searched web and found that I should try to do the following: to change DisablePagingExecutive value from 0 to 1. I have done it, and tried to run Encore. At the same point I got the following reason for OS failure: 0x1000000a (0x000005c4, 0x000000ff, 0x00000001, 0x804db8ca). I really don't know what to do. I have to finish the DVD REALLY SOON and I can't create the image. Please please please help me (to reinstall windows is not an option - I can't ensure that the DVD project will not be deleted and I can't backup 55GB).
Alrite, my friend re-formatted his computer, and afterwards, he is having problems. It seems to start up fine, and it gets to both screens where it says, "Windows 2000 is starting up," and on the second one, it seems to get done then it goes to a blue screen for a very split second, and restarts automatically, and does this, Over and over. It doesn't make it to the desktop. He hooks up a different hard drive to it and it works fine.. It is also windows 2000. Its windows 2000 Service Pack 3.
When i was checking the computer out at sellers house, it did not crash and worked fine, I took it home for a good price (i thought) at $300. There was an instance of Windows XP installed, and seller asked me to format it before I started using the computer, I agreed and headed home. To test it out I installed Prince of Persia and ran that, everything went smoothly and I was satisfied. I then went out and bought a nice $200 widescreen monitor (the 15" crt wasnt cutting it) and the wireless card as it only had ethernet. Hooked up the new monitor and wireless connected to the internet and started installing WoW. At disk 5 it frooze up and its all gone downhill from there
Computer reboots always at the same point in a game (start of Creature phase in Spore) when its starting/trying to process an introdutory movie/animation.It happened one time, I tried again, it rebooted my computer again, so I tried to by pass the problem by starting a new game, using someone elses save game and it happened again.So I searched for information and discovered how to turn off Restart so I could get a Blue Screen with a BCCode.I got the Blue Screen and learned how to view the error log on windowns going to Control Panel> Administration Tools> Event Viewer> System.There I found the multiple occurences of the same error when the computer restarts.
I opened up my computer today and I got a blue screen that flashed and restarted immediately.Then I decided to install Windows again then I got this message:A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to yur computer.If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration and check for any updated drives. run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption and then restart your computer.
My laptop has begun flashing a blue error screen prior to restarting at random. This is not following any hardware or new driver installation; the only software I have installed recently is Bloodshed Dev C++.I had a hard drive failure on this same laptop about 6 months ago; since then I installed a new hard drive, reinstalled XP Pro, all drivers and programs, and it has run without a hitch since then for the duration of the last 6 months...until today.I disabled automatic restarts and the blue screen error It looks to me like a driver error, but I have not updated or installed any new drivers or devices recently. I was hoping to avoid reinstallation of all drivers- could any of you point me towards a more specific fix? I'm not aware of what "w22n51.sys" is for, or the most obvious source for repair.
I get a blue screen then it restarts in a loop, so I have tried to start in safe mode however this reads the hard drive then goes into a similar loop of getting a blue screen and restarting. I have the windows XP disk and code, but wondered whether by reinstalling windows all data would be lost? I would, if at all possible prefer to get the data from the hard-drive, is there any way to do this. Also, I am not entirely sure on how to re-install it anyway.
I have found myself in a sticky predicament. when i start up windows it gets to the loading screen and then the blue screen of death comes up. now, it only comes up for a few mili seconds and then the system restarts, so i am unable to tell you the codes on the screen. this is p#*@ing me off
My son helpfully managed to get a trojan installed on my machine, a nasty piece of work called Puper-D. I nailed it ok, but then my desktop would continually reload, and freeze as Dr watson came up.I disabled the good doctor in the registry to see what the problem was, and it was an application error in explorer.exe. I reloaded windows XP pro as a repair install, assuming the trojan had damaged the OS, and now I'm not getting the error message, but the desktop continuously refreshes about every 12 to 15 seconds, and takes anything on it out.
System automatically restarts, if i disable restarts.Blue screen appears and informing to check for harddisk errors by run-chkdsk /f.But still i cannot clear my problem because check disk is not working when system restarts.
My laptop will not boot into windows at all. not into safe mode, or any other option i'm given. It gets to the windows logo and crashes, a quick flash of a bluescreen which i can't see the error, and restarts. I also do not have the option to disable the restart so i can see this code too.I booted the windows recovery and at the DOS prompt i tried doing chckdsk, fixboot, fixmbr.
I'm pretty sure the title is self explainatory. I went to sleep last night with the computer on and when I woke up this morning the blue screen was there. I restarted and when Windows loaded the taskbar and the desktop icons were missing. It's been like this all day. I've done System Restores and uninstalled recent things that I've installed.
i have a dell computer windows xp. Whenever i turn on my computer it log in and everything right but show no start bar or destop icon it just show a blue show screen blue i can get to task manger but when i try to open a program nothing happen
I've been trying to bring my husband's older Dell 8100 P4 desktop back to life. It was an old ME system initially. I've done the following:Replaced the motherboard and ide cables New CMOS battery Flashed BIOS Replaced and upgraded the memory Reformatted the harddrive (using another system) and loaded Win XP Pro I've used this same harddrive (with XP Pro) sucessfully on another Dell so I know there is nothing wrong with the boot files. But when I install it in the broke Dell...no joy.
It hangs in the "Windows can not start normally" pick Safe Mode, Last Known Good Config...etc loop. None of the options work and it flashes a quick BSOD dump error (too fast for me to see) and then back through the loop.The BIOS recognizes all the drives, the memory, processor, etc.I also tried to boot with alot of the extra hardware removed (removed NIC, sound card, modem, un-hooked optical drives, etc) --- still same no-boot loop.
I receive him with linux, so I asked a friend to remove and install XP, after 1 or 2 mounts the first blue screen appeared, I read it and restart the pc since it was the first time I didn't find it so bad, anyway it kept o going, one time I exit Garry's Mod, it also appeared after a critical error in SWAT 4 - The Stetchkov Syndicate,
