Solve : Computer keeps restarting right after booting up? |
|
Answer» My computer keeps restarting just a few seconds after booting up. It only starts in Safe Mode. I was able to turn off Auto Reboot so I could read the blue error screen. Here is the full text: A system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. There are numerous individual causes for this problem, including hardware incompatibility, a faulty device driver or system service, or some software issues. Check Event Viewer (EventVwr.msc) for additional information. Courtesy MSDN... Quote from: imsyak on April 29, 2012, 07:09:55 AM ...there was a brief power cut due to pulling the wrong cable. Before that, it was running OK...Try booting to "Last Known Good Configuration". Keep tapping F8 just before start of Windows XP splash screen. This is sometimes a warning too 1. Check all your hardwares (especially Hard Drive) and other expansion cards are properly punched in to the system. Then try last known good configuration by pressing f8 method mentioned in previous reply. Then install a good security software if haven't done already. 2. If these don't work, try booting in safe mode again by using f8 key method. Go to "Start" and "RUN" and type in the bar "msconfig" and click on the "Start Up" tab. Try to uncheck the programs you dont need at startup. Scan your computer. And try rebooting it normally. 3. If still this doesn't work, you got to give your system into professional hands, so they can check it further. Sometimes this is the alarming sign of a dying hard drive as it suddenly stops and shows you the failure message. Hope for the best I have just checked Event Viewer, there is nothing in there pointing out to that error. I also tried rebooting to last known good configuration and System Restore. Still doesn´t work. I also got security software on. I have also disabled all programs at start up and tried rebooting normally and again to last known good configuration. Cables and devices are OK. Still doesn´t work. Thanks for all your help, guys.Any yellpw ??'s in Device Manager ? ?I have just run a diagnostics TOOL, it showed me there is a very bad/damaged partition, which might explain why all we have tried so far did not work. I need to fix that partition, not an easy task because it seems to overlap with other existing partitions. I probably need to backup all data/programs and reformat my HD.Thats what i would do... HDD errors cannot be fixed...chkdsk will however mark bad sectors so they are ignored and no longer used.You´re right. The next challenge, though, is that I now get the error message: "Bad boot sector, enter system disk and press Enter" or "Bad boot sector, press any key" and I can no longer get into Safe Mode , so it may take a bit longer to fix it than originally planned.I'd replace the HDD if it were me...Well, if I manage to get it fixed this time, I may eventually, once everything is backed up properly. |
