Solve : PC Clogged...keeps re-starting. Need Help!?

Answer»

System keeps re-starting and re-starting ....
It won't even start in Safe Mode.
I only get to the Windows XP Logo screen, then PC keeps rebooting.
Please see attached HJT Log prior to PC ACTING up and advise what to do to at least get to my desktop.

Thanks





[saving space - attachment deleted by admin]Please start by PROVIDING us with more information about the computer and the problem. It may not be a virus/malware related issue at all.
Give us the specifications on the hardware in the computer or a computer brand name and model number.
Tell us what version of windows you using.
Tell us when the problem started and whether you noticed or did anything around that time. Like installing or removing software for example.This is a build-up computer running Windows XP home.
I cannot get to the specs as the PC keeps re-starting right up to the Windows XP logo.
I can't even run in Safe Mode...
However, I can get to the AMIBIOS.

Please help getting into PC desktop, then I can get more info...than what's showing in HJT log

Thanks so much.You still haven't answered this question.

Tell us when the problem started and whether you noticed or did anything around that time. Like installing or removing software for example.

You can disable the automatic reboot. This will allow you too see what error is causing the REBOOTS. This error message is crucial.
Start the computer in normal mode and let it crash and reboot.
Tap F8 reaptedly during the bootup. This should bring you to the "Windows Advanced Options Menu".
From this menu select "Disable automatic restart on system failure" and press enter.
Select XP as the operation system to start and hit enter.
Now windows will try to load again.
This time instead of restarting you should get a blue screen similar to this one.

The red boxes on the picture shows you what information from the blue screen you need to write down.
Post the info here.
Thanks for the reply help...

I got the blue screen with all the info you stated , except the cause of the problem, which is the FIRST thing you circled in red.

As fart as technical information, I got the following:
****STOP: 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x80042000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Appreciate all the help you can give me in getting my PC back to normal, fast-speed performance.Ouch... this stop code may indicate a hardware problem.
I really hate repeating myself here... but it would help if you could tell me anything about when this problem started. Have you added or removed any software or hardware or noticed any strange noises or anything else out of the ordinary?
Also, do you by chance have Symantec AntiVirus installed?I have SuperAntispyware installed as well as CA Internet Security Suite.

I ran the Superantispyware and quarantined/deleted the checked boxes.
I believe this problem started thereafter...

If I could access past the Windows Logo screen to actually log into my system, that'll be FANTASTIC.
Again, your help is greatly appreciated and looking forward to your reply.I'll do it for you DeerPark...

I was able to do a clean install of XP Home...which resolved lots of issues.

However, when I select to restart PC, it does not read my DVD Burner drive...Only reads floppy and cd rom drive.
Occasional freezes occur as well.
