Continuous restart after restart

[Guest]

Hi, I have not run across this issue before. I have not downloaded anything
new. All Service Packs are up to date. My computer started
rebooting and now will not allow me to get even to the log on screen. All
other methods of rebooting, i.e., Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking,
turning off automatic reboot upon system failure, etc., using the F8 function
key during reboot does not work. In fact, even using my windows 2000
installation
CD fails to work. The reboot process gets to a certain point and then it
shuts down
again and restarts the reboot process all over again. Any ideas/suggestions
would be most
welcome ASAP Please respond back to (e-mail address removed). Thank You!!

From a parallel install, run regedt32.exe, then from the Local Machine Hive,
choose Registry|Load Hive, then navigate to the
%windir%\system32\config
directory on the other install, and find the system file, then Open, in the
Key Name box give it some temp name, then under tempname, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
and look in the Reg_Dword value of "Current", this is the current
controlset, then navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x\Control\CrashControl
Where x = the value of "Current" (found above) and set the values as follows

"AutoReboot"=dword:00000000
"CrashDumpEnabled"=dword:00000001
"LogEvent"=dword:00000001
"Overwrite"=dword:00000001
Then navigate back up to "tempname" and choose Unload Hive, and boot your
original install, Autoreboot is now turned off so you should be able to read
the stop error.
