System crashes and I can't disable auto restart

[maXimus4444]

Hi,

I've been having my system crash for a about one month now. (It won't get past the Windows loading screen) It crashes and auto restarts. I rebooted in safe mode and attempted to change the "Automatically restart on system crash." It then told me to start the alerter service but windows safe mode won't allow me.

I can't see the information the BSOD displays. I'll post several of the last minidumps. I've run memtest86 through about 10 passes. No errors were reported. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks much,
maX

oops Here's the minidump files.

wow I'll try one more time

All your minidumps crash at avg7rsw.sys. This is part of your AVG Antivirus programme. I suggest uninstalling and reinstalling AVG. Make sure you have the latest version.

If you have XP (since you provided nada for actual info), Start, right clck My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery Settings, un-check 'Automatically Restart'.

AVG Uninstall

I uninstalled AVG Anti-Virus. Its still crashing at the point when Windows is loading.

I checked the minidump folder. (C:\Windows\Minidump\) There was no new mindump file with the latest crash. Just the same one I posted before. (Mini050907-10.dmp) I'm not too sure what to do now.

If you have XP (since you provided nada for actual info), Start, right clck My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery Settings, un-check 'Automatically Restart'.

I did go to the Startup and Recovery settings and unchecked the Auto Restart checkbox. It says that I can't do it in safe mode. If I attempt to reboot in normal mode it crashes. What do you think?

I suggest you backup your important data and reformat. See if that solves your problems. If it doesn`t, then we`re looking at a possible hardware problem.

Ok, I'll backup and reformat tomorrow and repost with the results

Reformatting fixed the problem. Not sure exactly what had happened but all is well now. Thanks for the help!
