Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.14
Hi,
Let us try to repair windows. Insert your Windows XP CD and restart the computer. The Windows Installation wizard will appear. Carefully proceed, till you find an option to "Repair...." Click on Repair. Let it complete. This should fix our issue. Note : IF CD is not detected automatically, you have to re-set BIOS configuration. Press Del or F10 (depends) when the system starts and then set the Boot Priority. Here make sure, CD drive is before Harddrive. All the best. Allwyn

I still have the same problem. The computer re-boots, I get as far at the desktop (without the icons). I hear it working in the background and all of a sudden the computer restrart. It goes on like that until I get tired and shut down the computer.
I did the Repair options in the Widows XP installation but it didn't do anything. Any other suggestions? Thanks Sylvie

my computer is stuck in a reboot loop. i have an intel pentium 4 desktop computer. it is windows xp home edition. the problem happened after i installed the windows service package 2 (i know, im a little behind). it seemed to install the update fine but after i restarted my computer i couldnt seem to get to my desktop. the computer manages to get to the light blue windows xp loading screen but instead of entering my desktop the computer reboots and the whole process starts over again. after reading other forums, i tried the F8 method but couldnt seem to make it work. last known configuration and safe mode dont seem to work but i may have not done them correctly; im no computer whiz. but after pressing the "disable automatic restart on system failure" option, i got this error message on the "blue screen of death" (this happened after the light blue xp loading screen instead of it restarting like it usually does):
STOP: c000021a Unknown Hard Error Unknown Hard Error what should i do? i dont want to have to reinstall windows xp and lose my data as i have some important documents and music mp3s on it. ive read about possibly doing a repair install? how does that work, would it work, and would it save my data? is there another option? thanks in advance.

I had the same (or similar) problem, which caused me loads of anxiety over these past few days.
I have a Dell Dimension 5150 PC. My symptoms: After Windows XP SP3 update, I experienced the same reboot loop. After disconnecting the keyboard/mouse, Windows loaded just fine. Plugging in a Wacom Tablet caused the same problem again. Plugging in the Printer: ditto. Not so with my external Hardrive. But without a keyboard or mouse, there is little you can do. So I took the PC tower to a local service tech (Dell Support wanted to reload the OS, but that would have ditched my files). Service Tech at Computer Trends was able to fix the problem. I received my PC back this afternoon. Here are his notes: SYSTEM DID NOT UPDATE TO SP3 PROPERLY. MANUALLY COPIED USB FILES INTO %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 FROM SERVICE PACK. SYSTEM NOW BOOTS WITHOUT BLUE SCREEN. ISSUE RESOLVED. So, unless you know how to do that, don't screw around with it. Take it to a Service Technician. It cost me $ 50.-- plus tax. Case closed. Cheers and good luck |
I got the same problem.
I downloaded and installed a program to monitor my CPU's temperature it requires to restart because of some .dll added to windows folder. I rebooted and since then I get the log in screen where it wants me to choose from; Safe Mode, Last Known Good Config".all the way to Boot Normally no matter which option I choose I get the same results. i tried to select "disable auto boot" and the XP loads but it turns to a blue screen with an error message. please tell me what should I do.

My son called from college and asked if there is anyway to get back his data after performing a Windows recovery. Evidently he had a virus that would not allow him to do much of anything. The Windows recovery worked, but now his school papers/projects are gone. Anyone know if they can be saved or does he have to do them all over?

Do you know if anybody has access to your computer? I know a funny but annoying prank is to put "shutdown -r -t 00" into a batch file and put it in msconfig. That might be the problem. good luck tho |
Hi,
I got the same problem you had. Apparently, I tried everything system recovery, run it to save mode or last system configuration that works. Still it keeps or restarting. My last option was to replace hard drive. Now its running like a new PC but I want to retrive all the data from my old hard drive. |
it has to do with your registry after installing sp3,i had it and fixed it myself,below is what i did after going on in safe mode. HOW TO STOP ENDLESS LOOP REBOOT FROM SP3 1.) First, boot into Safe Mode. After a reboot or two, you’ll probably be given that option, but if not, just tap the F8 key a few times once you see the Windows logo pop up on your screen. 2.) Once you're in Safe Mode, go to Start, Run and type in "regedit" (without the quotes). 3.) That will launch the Registry Editor. Next, you’ll need to navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Intelppm4.) Once you're there, look in the right hand side pane for an entry that says Start. Right click it and select Modify.5.) In the Value Data box, replace the 1 with a 4. Hit OK to exit the Registry Editor and then reboot your computer. |
Likewise, I am having problems reinstalling Windows XP Professional. The sytem repair, and new partition have been repeatedly to the point of installing device drivers. That is where the mouse and keyboard are unusable. Why? I have been at this for hours and hours. Time is truly a luxury and computers can be unreliable, expensive, and quirky gadgets. It is good that many posts include some helpful information as if we are in a problem-solving team, together.
I will confirm that the keyboard, mouse, and usb are bios-activated. Actually, the problem seems to have more to do with usb conflicts or not being accurately recognized by the system. Perhaps there is something to be said for the advice about using old install cds or serial peripherals. Anyway, here is a way to save your data: Buy a usb enclosure for your corrupted EIDE, SATA, or other brand of hd. For the past year or so, every hd that I forced to fail was miraculously restored by simply removing it from the cpu and inserting it into a USB enclosure. The enclosures come in a variety of flavors, so be careful and do good e-shopping. i have tried two different companies so far and had one enclosure go bad. Also, the price range starts around $20-$50, depending on bells and whistles. We should just become official OS beta-testers! Bye..

I have a boot-loop problem!
My computer model is Advent T9317- my OS is windows XP media centre. When I turn my computer on, it loads up and then starts to ask me what configuration I want: ‘safe mode’, ‘last known configuration’ and so on. When I choose any of them, the screen goes black, then loads up the BIOS again and start to ask me again (safe mode blablabla) – on the top of the screen it says ‘sorry for the inconvenience the hard drive might be corrupt’. I tried recovering the system because my computer has built in recovery thingie madgig when I first got it and I used it to fix my computer the first time I got it but don’t have the recovery disc when I first got it. And because I have the recovery system inside my hard drive, I can’t go to it too because the second time I broke the pc, I sent it to a local IT people and they fixed it by partitioning the hard drive again so im guessing that they deleted the files that will help recover my system and I think now the recovery disc that I can buy from the advent company wont work as well because the IT people partitioned my hard drive. I tried a windows xp media centre disc from a friend – inserted it, but still wont work on my pc, my pc cant read the disc, I went to the bios and change the hard drive boot up and placed cd rom before the hard drive but still wont read the windows xp media centre disc, I don’t know how to fix my pc. What if I just install new OS to it, will that work?!
