hey guys, basically my pc starts up fine until it gets to the win xp loading splash screen whatever, theres a flash of a blue screen and then my pc restarts, this can go on for hours.

I tried all the modes in the F8 menu.

please help! THANKS1. Windows XP? Which version of the operating system are you using? HOME Edition or Professional? Original, Service Pack 1 (SP1), or SP2?

Hoping for an answer similiar to Windows XP Home SP2 or Windows XP Professional SP2.


2. Is this a "Brand" computer, home-built, or store built white box? Did you purchase it with Windows XP pre-installed?


3. What recovery resources do you have available to fix the operating system if necessary?

a. Microsoft Windows XP Setup CD (Home/Professional, Original/SP1/SP2)
b. OEM Windows Setup CD (Home/Professional, Original/SP1/SP2)
C. OEM Recovery CD (aka Restore CD)
d. OEM Recovery Partition


4. By default, if the system encounters a serious error while loading the Windows XP operating system, it attempts to display error text and numbers on a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), and then automatically restarts.

To recover from the "Windows Advanced Options Menu", you would normally attempt "Safte MODE", followed by "Last known good configuration" followed by the "Disable automatic restart on system error" item. If those options don't work or are not available you would move on to the use of the Windows XP "Recovery Console".


5. Did you make any hardware/software changes immediately prior to the boot failure?
