My fiancé is having issues with her CPU. I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet, but I thought I would post this and get an idea as to what I’m in for.
This is all 2nd hand info from here.
The computer lags and restarts without warning when Norton is scanning. Once is reaches into the TEMP folders, it restarts the system. I had her go in and delete a large portion of the temp files. Everything created after her purchase of the computer.
The system came up with some sort of error message requesting she perform windows update. It ran through 68 different updates and installed them on her PC. Now when she reaches the main screen of XP and clicks to enter her password, the computer restarts over and over again.
If she holds F8 and boots in “Safe Mode” or “Last good config” everything loads fine.
Any ideas what the root of the problem could be?
