Continous Reboot Problem

When I boot my computer it goes into a continous reboot cycle. It will not
stop rebooting unless I select "Last known good configuration". Only then
will it go to the desktop. I have no idea how to resolve this problem. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks David
 
When the pc is booting up (after the BIOS has done its POST test and
before Windows starts loading),
Tap F8 Function key to get bootup options. Tap & keep repeat tapping F8 !


You will actually see "Disable automatic restart on system failure" as an
option .
Select that and give it a try. This option is available if you have XP
service pack 2.


You really need to see the STOP code because there is a fatal error
condition.
When you do see the STOP error, write all of it down. Code numbers plus the
text around it.

Then post that information back here.

Some research on the error should lead to the likely problem area.



Also, on selective bootup choices, (when you have a problem booting into
normal mode Windows):

try the "VGA" mode boot option. This is especially handy if your setup has a
goofed up video driver issue.
