Computer won't get past the windows logo, reboots after
Hi Guys,
I am having this problem with my pc. I turn it on, it boots fine until it hits the windows logo (Windowns XP pro) screen, at which point it stays there for the regular few seconds, then the computer restarts itself. It refuses to go to safe mode or to last known good configuration. It doesnt seem like a hard disk problem, because I tried the same HD on another computer, and it works fine. On the other hand, the other hard disk will make my computer still exhibit the same symptoms, i.e., infinite reboots. Any ideas or help would be great ! Thanks, Rayan |

Look at those little can things on it, there are a bunch. If any are bulging at the top or leaking the board is done for. If all look fine, then it might be time to try a different power supply. |

Thanks for the replies guys.
Well, I tried the stuff you guys recommended. -RAM: it doesnt seem like any of the sticks is busted, coz i tried removing one and then the other and its still not working. -the capacitors on the motherboard are not bulging or leaking -the whole thing was working fine 2 days ago, so i dont think its the power supply either -unplugged all the USB devices... no help there One other thing that i notice. Sometimes I glance the dreaded blue screen, but it only shows up for a split second before the whole thing reboots again... At this point I can't figure out whats gone wrong, and the only thing that comes to mind is the bios. What do you think ? Thanks again, Rayan |

I think you mentioned that you couldn't get it to boot in safe mode. As it
starts you hit the F8 key? And you get a menu and you choose safe mode? And when booting it still resets? You say it refuses to go to safe mode. Pushing the F8 key early enough can sometimes be problematic and done several times to hit it just right. Try it again. If you haven't done it that way give it another shot. Let us know what happens. -- Jan Alter or "rayan" wrote in message oups.com... Thanks for the replies guys.

Computer won't get past the windows logo, reboots after
hard drive failure possibly the slave or a partition on the boot drive
"rayan" wrote in message ps.com... Thanks again guys, still not working... New developments tho: 1- I lost my cd-drive and dvd-drive, i.e. the computer won't let me boot from them either... 2-I F8'ed the thing and told windows to stop rebooting every time it hit an error, and now i can see the BSOD, with the following message : -unmountable boot volume I undestand the problem, i probably will need the drivers or some .ini file, which means that i need the windows XP cd, which brings us back to the fact that I can't access those anymore. I am stumped. Thanks for any help you can offer, rayan |
