XP Home keeps rebooting itself
Few days ago it began, Boots up to Logon screen, then
shuts down and reboots, continuously. My 12 year old did a "Last Known Good..." boot before I could intervene... Any ideas? |

Look in Event Viewer for a description of whatever caused the problem.

XP Home keeps rebooting itself
Do you have any idea of what might be the cause? Made any changes to your
computer at all? If you are really at a loss then the only thing you can do is reinstall Windows. -- Ted Zieglar wrote in message ... Cant get into the computer at all. Does it in safe mode too.

If you are unable to boot into Windows at all, even in Safe Mode or "last known good configuration", then your next option would be to do a Repair Install as per the instructions at http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm A Repair Install will preserve your user data files, installed applications, and program configuration settings. However all Windows Updates will have to be reinstalled and you could therefore be vulnerable to Blaster/Sasser virus infections when you first connect to the Internet. If your Windows XP is on a "system recovery" CD or partition rather than an installation CD then it may not be possible to do a Repair Install and you may have to use the "system recovery" CD which will likely wipe out everything and replace it with a factory-fresh copy of Windows XP. Post a response back here if this is the case and if you have important data that needs to be recovered from the computer. Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
