Constantly rebooting

[nesredep egrob]

My computer has given up and I guessed that the motherboard was the trouble so I
replaced the Acer board with the duff capacitors with a Gigabyte that the seller
assured me they never had any trouble with the capacitors. Well the motherboard
worked after a little fiddling around and I had to buy a new keyboard as there
was only access to a USB connected keyboard.

That keyboard works well while working with bios but the moment I start XP2 Pro
I get the choice of starting normally or using one of the other ways such as
safe or safe with command.

The trouble is that the keyboard now do not react with the computer and after
some 20 second wait I see a glimpse of MS and the start screen and immediately
go on to re-boot. There does not seem to be a way out - keyboard working in Bios
and not in MS.

I am sure I have seen answer to that problem but I cannot remember what had to
be done - I suspect the motherboard but then how does the keyboard work in Bios?

When you replaced the motherboard did you reinstall Windows XP?

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

Press the F8 key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic
restart on system failure.

Post a complete copy of the Stop Error message

Hope this helps.

Thanks, First I saw that the bios had disabled USB keyboard, strange as there is
no input socket for the old keyboard, good reason why the keyboard did not work.
Corrected. I manage to stop the reboot and got

I finally got the stop: error as 0x0000007b
(0XF79A1524,0XC0000034,0X00000000,0X00000000)

There was no way to get information from the bios but I took a few good photos
and can place them in the internet should they be needed - that will take all of
5 minutes to do.

I sincerely thank you for your interest
