Computer reboot failure - important
Hello,
First I would like to thank you for reading and possibly helping out. I have a really good computer, specifications listed below. Earlier about a month ago my desktop had some spyware and viruses, but with different antispyware and forum help, I was able to restore everything. Also I used Kaspersky to keep my computer safe. Today I was playing a computer game that requires high quality graphics and definitely cpu speed, but I have not had problems before, and thats why I bought a quality desktop. THE PROBLEM: My computer restarted, I got back to windows, and restarted again. It happened 2-3 times, I tried to run antivirus, ad aware etc, but none of them got completed, my system would restart after a shorter and shorter period of time. Now I got to the point that my computer restarts right at, or right before the windows xp logo comes up and starting to load the windows. I checked the fans in my computer, I have 4 of them, they all work, plus the CPU and the powersupply work fine. I tried to plug in the power cable somewhere else the computer did the same. I tried rebooting safe mode, restore mode, vga mode everything, but it did not work. [COLOR=Red]The computer keeps restarting[/COLOR]. The only way I see something is when with F8 at reboot I chose the option not to auto restart when system crashes. With this I reboot, and instead of another restart I get a blue screen error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000005). Click on ok to terminate the aplication" I am not sure what to do, I took out my RAM put it back on the motherboard, the same thing happened. I am not sure what to do,but my windows doesn't start so there are not many options I have. Thanks a lot, I look forward for your help Gabor |

Boot into Safe Mode by repeatedly tapping the F8 key at startup until it starts.
Go to Control Panel/System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery and un-check reboot on errors. Next run all your protection programs AV, Spybot Adaware etc. Right clik on the C: drive in My Computer and do a disk clean from the first menu making sure Temp. Internet Files is checked in the drop down box on top. Next rite clik the C: drive again in My Computer and select Tools and select error checking. Get a cup of coffee or a beer and let it finish. Do a clean boot and you should be good to go. patio. ![]() |
