Press F8 as the computer boots up, when you get a Windows menu option select LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION and then press ENTER.
If that doesn't work boot up and press F8 and select SAFE MODE and press ENTER.

Disable safe mode

Which operating system and do you have Norton antivirus ???
Turn Off Safe Mode

You rebooted your PC at least 10 times now, and still it refuses to start in anything other than Safe Mode.
Your many attempts to perform a system restore have yet to be victorious. It just will not boot up normally.
According to Microsoft, if you have Norton Antivirus 2001 installed on your computer, it is the root of the problem. Microsoft suggests you disable it.

Restart your computer. Let it load completely in Safe Mode.
Press "Run" on your Start menu.
Once you see the Open box, enter into the provided text box: misconfig.
Then press "Enter" or Select "OK."
Select on the new dialog box that has appeared "Selective Startup."
Select "NAVAP.VxD" on the Static VxD tab.
Remove the check in the check box you now see.
Select "OK."
Remove the check in the check box next to Norton Auto Protect.
Select "OK."
Reboot your system and it will be in Normal Mode.
Turn Off Safe Mode in Windows XP
The purpose of booting your computer in safe mode is to resolve issues.
Only your basic, most dire drivers and programs will run to block viruses and surreptitious software from executing on your system.
But once the issue is resolved, you need to get back to the standard Windows mode. In order to turn off safe mode in Windows XP, you must go through the same steps that you took to turn it on.

Reboot your Windows system.
Press the "F8" key several times as soon as you see the first Windows XP logo appear on your screen as the computer is booting.
This will bring up a black screen that displays the "Windows Advanced Options Menu."
Press the down arrow button on your keyboard to scroll down the list.
Select "Start Windows Normally" and then hit "Enter."
Allow the system to boot.
Enter your Windows XP user password (if you set one) and log in as usual.

When I shut down the computer, the DWA 556 wifi card causes it to reboot. How do I stop this?

There are settings in the BIOS setup of most computers that allows the computer to be powered up by the Wake On Lan signal This allows you to remotely power up the computer by sending a signal to your network card. This setting is normally found in the Power Management portion of your BIOS setup.

Most motherboards allow you to access their BIOS settings by pressing the DEL key while your computer is first turned on. The first screen that shows on your monitor will normally have something similar to "Press DEL to run Setup" across the bottom of the screen. Whatever key is displayed is the one that you want to press as soon as you power it up. Once inside your BIOS look for the Power Management menu across the top of your screen. Once you choose that menu item the next screen should have either "Wake On Lan" or a "Power On By PCI Devices" setting. Make sure that this is turned off. You should then save your changes and exit your BIOS. Usually across the bottom of the settings screen, or on the side, you will see the keys you need to press to do so. Once you press the key or keys, your PC will save the changes and then reboot itself. Just to ensure that the change was made go back to the Power Management screen and make sure the setting is still off.

If your computer is still rebooting itself then the next step is to ensure that you have the latest driver for your adapter. Go to the following website:

http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=549


You should see a black bar with Overview, Works With, and Support Resources labeled in the bar. Choose the Support Resources. When the bar changes you will then want to choose Drivers. Download the latest drivers for whatever version of your Operating System that you are using. Install them, then reboot your computer. Your computer should then recognize your adapter and install the new driver files.

If after all of this you are still getting reboots the problem might be the PCI slot you are using. Power down the computer, and remove the cover of the case. Remove the screw holding down your adapter and move it to another PCI slot. Re-assemble the case and power up your PC. If you are still getting the reboots then the issue is probably the adapter itself. Try and boot the computer without the adapter installed. If the reboots are gone then the card is defective. If you are still getting the reboots then you have a hardware issue with your motherboard. At this point you should have it looked at by your local repair shop. Due to the price of new motherboards it us usually cheaper to buy a new board rather than try and find someone who will repair it.

One of these processes should resolve your issue.

1. Shut down the computer.
2. Turn the computer on and immediately press F8 repeatedly until you get the "Advanced Boot Options" menu.
3. use the down arrow to select "Safe Mode" and press enter.
4. Window is should start with a "Help" window.
5. In the help window there is an underlined "What is System Restore?"
Click on that and "Click to open System Restore"

7. Click ok and the operating system should restore your computer successfully and reboot into normal mode.

Help! my screen doesn't come on and my laptop keeps rebooting on its own. The screnn comes on when I start up the computer but then it goes out....it does work with another monitor. Also, the computer...

Two seperate issues I think.
The fact you can get an external screen to work indicates a problem with the backlight or inverter or both..A qualified technician or TV repairman will be able to test these and confirm.

The reboot is possibly a hard drive issue.

With the external monitor plugged in, boot to safe mode and do a hard drive disk check, see if that resolves the issue with the rebooting problem.

If it does not bypass the hard drive by obtaining a linux live CD, and setting the cmos to boot from CD. If this works without rebooting (the software is run from the CD), then the issue is with the hard drive and you might want to get any valuable data off and saved to a usb stick.

You could then try seeing whether the issue is hardware related or software related by booting from a recovery disc and at the stage where windows looks for a previous installation, select Repair, this will reinstall windows files

If this does not solve the problem, it could be a number of things from bad Ram to more major motherboard damage.
