My computer is rebooting over an over ....dont have time to do anything....now i open my computer on safe ....mode what should i do??? i have window xp

Keep tapping F8 whilst booting and chose 'Normal Mode' on the screen.

Pres and hold CONTROL, ALT, and DELETE together and then release. The Task Manager will appear - first check under the Programs tab for running applications and END anything running. If nothing there, go to PROCESSES and start ENDING anything you don't recognize, ONE AT A TIME. This will usually release whatever is running and restore your desktop quickly.

If you are not comfortable using the Task Manager, restart your computer in SAFE MODE by pressing F8 BEFORE the Windows start screen appears. When given options, select SAFE MODE with NETWORKING. Once you have successfully booted into safe mode, your computer "usually" restarts normally when you reboot it again. Regular mode will be the default when you reboot.

Windows hiccups sometimes.

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.

Make sure you have them in the correct ports in the back of the computer. If the end that goes into the back of the computer is round then you have PS2 serial type keyboard and mouse. If it is flat you have usb type mouse and keyboard. If it is round, the keyboard goes into the purple colored port and the mouse goes into the green port. If you put them in or remove them while the computer is on you will have to reboot the computer. They are not plug and play like the usb types.

If they still don't work try booting up in Safe Mode.

Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn it back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE MODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will look different to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this is normal. If the work in Safe Mode then you probably have a virus or infection that has hijacked the keyboard.

Take the steps above to reboot in Safe Mode, but this time when the safe mode options appear, select Safe Mode With Networking option (this will give you internet connectivity). Open your internet browser when it finishes booting up and download and install MalwareBytes.

Go to www.google.com and in the search box type: "Download cnet Malwarebytes" (without the quotes). Download and install malwarebytes from the sites download.cnet/malwarebytes. When the site opens up click on the Green Download button on the left. Do not click the Red Download button, that's junk. When it finishes installing the Gui Interface will open up with an offer to Accept a Trial Version or Decline. CLICK DECLINE you want the totally free version. Run a QUICK SCAN. As it scans, if it finds infections the number will be in red. When it finishes scanning, click SHOW RESULTS. A notepad text document will open up showing you the results. You can close the text document and go back to the Gui Interface where you will click REMOVE SELECTED RESULTS. The objects will already be selected for you. When it finishes removing the objects click ok and it will sometimes reboot your machine.

try restarting the PC in Safe Mode. Upon reboot keep pressing the F8 key. It will open a selection menu for you to choose safe mode. Go into Safe Mode and open your My Computer and right click on the C drive and go down to properties. THen go to the Tool tab and select the Check Disk option. It will ask you to check two boxes and then it will say you need to reboot your PC. Reboot your PC and let it run. Once its done it will automatically start back up with the OS. If your still having issues then restart the pc and go back into safe mode and this time run your anti virus program.

Hope this helps...

i think your os files may have been corrupted. first try to boot in safe mode. if it works then reboot and the next time if menu comes select normal mode.

normaly if safe mode boot succeed, then in next boot it will not ask for anything, the windows boots normaly.

Boot with F8, choose "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" and follow:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304449

to access System Restore via Safe Mode to choose an image of your system at an earlier (and safer) time. Good luck.

You can also force the system into safe mode. You click on startup and type in msconfig. Click the general tab and select diags and the system will reboot to safe mode. Change it back to normal to get your system out of safe mode.
