PC keeps on restarting

Repair Window Xp by inserting windows XP cd in CD drive. After repair use a system utility software like RegInOut to avoid this error in future. It will also fix corrupt registry files and windows files.

Hi,
I would suggest you first try the Start Up Repair for Windows XP.
1. Just insert the Windows XP installation CD that came with your computer then restart the computer.
2. You should get a prompt to start the computer from the CD drive, if not you need to enter BIOS settings to set the start/boot up mode so that your computer will boot up first from the CD.
3. When you see the blue screen, let the computer load everything and when it's done choose "To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER"4. Press F8 to agree to the License Agreement 5. Choose "To repair the selected Windows XP installation, press R"
Windows will then start the repair process. Do not worry all your data and settings will be retained.

If above solution does not work then,Use Recovery Console.

When you see the blue screen, let the computer load everything and when it's done press R to repair Windows XP using Recovery Console4. On the Recovery Console, choose the installation you would like to log on to (for example c:\Windows)5. Type Chkdsk /p /r on the Recovery Console and your computer will begin to check the hard drive for error and recover data.6. Once Chkdsk is completed, type exit then press Enter. Computer should restart. No need to boot from CD at this point. You can take out the Windows installation CD.

Hope this helps. Glad to be of service.

If it's rebooting when trying to boot into safe mode as well, have you tried "Last Known Good Configuration"? Press F8 like you do to go into Safe Mode, and choose this instead.
If this doesn't work, on the F8 menu, you can disable automatic restart. This will cause Windows to hang instead of automatically rebooting when it encounters an error. With any luck, it will display a STOP error for you. If you get this, comment with the error and I'll be happy to look that up for you.
If this helps, please give a positive rating.

• Insert the Windows OS CD in the CD drive of your computer, and then restart your computer.
  
• 2 Press "R" on your keyboard when you see the Windows XP( if your OS is XP) "Welcome to Setup" screen. This will start the Windows XP recovery console. If you are asked to enter the administrator password, type it and press "Enter."
  
• 3 Type the following commands one by one, without quotes, at the command prompt, and then press "Enter."
  "EXPAND drive_letter1:\i386\user32.dll_ drive_letter2\windows\system32"
  "EXPAND drive_letter1:\i386\userinit.ex_ drive_letter2\windows\system32"
  Replace drive_letter1 here with the CD drive letter of your computer in which the Windows XP setup CD is present (for example, E:), and drive_letter2 here with the letter of the drive in which Windows XP is installed on your computer

Hi,

You will need to press the F8 key before windows starts to load then disable
the auto restart on error. That will allow you to read the error message and
someone may be able to guide you.
You could also try booting from the XP CD and run the recovery console (if
that's an option) once in the recovery console type chkdsk /r to correct any
errors & try booting again.

OR

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.

Please prost your feedback.

Sounds suspicsouly like a memory problem. When you allocate bad memory it will reboot your pc :)

Few things to check. First disable auto restarts on windows crashes. Do the following. (Assuming windows XP)

Right click My Computer
go to Properties
Click the Advanced tab
Click Settings for "Startup and Recovery"
Under "System Failure" Uncheck Restart

Now copy the files again and report back with the error code you get. IT will be something like 'yad yada yada 0x0000024'

You may want to also download memtest86, burn that to a cd and restart your pc. It will tell you if your memory is bad. Just look for red lines that say bad :)

Do you hear the cd/dvd working? Is the machine booting to the cd? If so, boot using the WINXP cd. When it comes to the install screen say yes to a new install, it will ask you to accept the license, press F8. XP will then check for previous versions of windows already installed. If it finds one, select "R" to repair the existing copies of XP. You may need to reactivate your copy of windows and redo any updates but thats no big deal. Now if none of that works try the following: Can you access the start options menu when the machine boots by pressing the F8 key as the first toshiba screen is shown keep pressing F8 until a screen appears that shows: Safe Mode Safe Mode w/ Networking Safe Mode Command Prompt disable auto restart and some other entries Choose safe mode with command prompt. it will look like an old ms/dos window. type CHKDSK /R Send me any error messeges you have received or any other info you think may help. Let me (again) know what happens. Good Luck, Tim
