Computer restarts before loading Windows

johannabartley · 09-29-2009, 07:46 AM

Hello!

I'm using XP on a laptop computer and without any reason my computer restarted and can't get into windows anymore. It usually gets to the windows loading screen and then it restarts. I tried safe mode, last known configuration and all that, same thing. I even introduced the windows CD and tried to repair it, it restarted the laptop. Right before the restart I see a blue screen for a fraction of a second so I can't see what it says. Please help me. I'm not very good at computers so I need some easy solutions (hopefully).

On the menu with safe mode etc. that comes up, go down to disable automatic restart on system failure. This way we can see what the blue screen says and what the problem is.

Wish I've thought of that before installing Linux on it in order to delete the Windows. I've formatted my entire hdd and lost all my pictures and documents. Next time I'll know better. Thanks for the answer.
