oh - and i meant to also add that in the safe mode options, i did cancel the
reboot to get the bsod window that indicated the following stop error:
0×0000007E (0xc0000005, ox852dc194, 0xf79ef7B0, 0xF7ef4ac). as for the
generic host error: i have gotten this window a few times before, but once i
x'ed it out, it never came back - and plus it never caused the problem i am
having now (the constant rebooting cycle). so maybe this is 2 different
issues happening by chance at the same time. (sorry for the previous
misspellings...)
