screen flickering and continous restart

[Guest]

Hey,
I have two simultaneous problems and I think they may be related.
First, when i turn on my computer, the screen will start to flicker and then
it'll reboot. It'll keep doing this. But when i do last known good
configuration, it'll start back up but the screen will flicker once in a
while. When i turned it off and turned it back on, the computer went back to
what it was doing originally, reboot and flicker. I tried system restore and
that did work but again, when i tried to reboot it it went back to the
original problems. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Make sure all the cable connections are properly pushed into sockets.
Could you borrow another computer Monitor to test whether you get the
same flickering?

Look in the System log of Event Viewer for Error and Warning Reports
over the last two days on which it has been used and post copies here.

Restart your computer and note the precise time the Error occurs. Let
the computer complete loading Windows and then look in Event Viewer for
an error report firstly on the System tab and if not there on the
Application. Don't be fussy over a minute or two but ignore any messages
from before you restarted. Please post a copy here You can access Event
Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer. When
researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID,
Source and Description are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message(email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report
complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.


Hope this helps.

Yes those are the reports I am interested in. Can you post copies using
the method I suggested as it provides more information.
