Restart When I turn my laptop on, it appears as though windows is about to start (the blue login screen appears and says 'windows is starting up...'), then the laptop restarts. If I left it alone it would keep on restarting. The same thing happens in Safe Mode. I think the problem may be because I updated my java. Is there any way I can turn on the laptop without going to get it fixed? Thanks, Harry

HI, if you press F8 during start up, before you see the Windows logo appear you should get advanced start-up options appear. Select "disable automatic restart on system failure", when the system blue screens again make a note of the text displayed and post it here. I should then be able to offer further advise.

you should reinstall the wireless drivers on your laptop go to the hp support site and type in the model number (it can be found on the white service tag under the laptop)

AS YOU ON THE SYSTEM BEFORE WINDOWS STARTS KEEP PRESSING THE F8 KEY CONTINUEOUSLY. A MENU WILL APPEAR. SELECT SAFE MODE AND ENTER. WINDOWS WILL LOAD IN SAFE MODE. THIS WILL SOLVE SOME OF YOUR PROBLEMS. NOW RESTART THE SYSTEM IN NORMAL MODE.

IF THIS DOES NOT WORK SELECT "LOAD WINDOWS WITH LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION " AND THEN RESTART. THIS WILL SURELY SORT OUT YOUR PROBLEM.

PLS REPLY OR COMMENT. THANKS

try doing this step.

-turn off the laptop completely
-turn on the computer and go to Safe Mode by tapping on F8 once you press the power button
-once you were able to login to Safemode, click on start>run>type msconfig.

it should show you a picture just like this:




-go to the Startup tab then click on Disable All
-then click on Services tab
-put a check on "hide microsoft services"
-Click Disable All
-Click Apply then OK
-it will prompt a message that says you need you to restart the computer, click restart now
-see if you will be able to login to Windows normally

in case you are not able to logon then you need to perform a repair of windows.
Please let me know the operating system you are using xp,vista or windows 7 so that i can accordingly share the repair steps with you.

Please try to unplug the laptop from power and remove the battery for over 10 seconds. Then start it up again. There are other things we can try if this does not work.

restart in setup or bios options
then choose to set to default
then f10 to save and exit

Try this,Start in VGA mode.Once started,update your video drivers

To use a Safe Boot option, follow these steps:

1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
2. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.
3. When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.

Safe Boot options loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation');

• Safe Mode (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Minimal): This option uses a minimal set of device drivers and services to start Windows.
• Safe Mode with Networking (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Network): This option uses a minimal set of device drivers and services to start Windows together with the drivers that you must have to load networking.
• Safe Mode with Command Prompt (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Minimal(AlternateShell)): This option is the same as Safe mode, except that Cmd.exe starts instead of Windows Explorer.
• Enable VGA Mode: This option starts Windows in 640 x 480 mode by using the current video driver (not Vga.sys). This mode is useful if the display is configured for a setting that the monitor cannot display.

hi,
you should have specified about your laptop. but you can try the following steps.
1. check the powercord and battery.
2. check screen brightness and contrast.
3. assuming that you login . click start-> run ..( msconfig ) -> and press ok-> in the window that appears click the startup tab. now click disable all. this will probably help..
4. or you might be running Vista in a 512 ram.
5. or you can try to insert the windows installation disk and start the laptop. and if the blue screen appears continue reinstalling the OS. this would probably help.
