After i partitioned my drive al was fine, it formatted and worked. But
when i turned it off for the night in the morning i cannot make it go
again. It gets to desktop, and then breifly flashes a blue screen with
much writing, followed by rebooting. This continues indefinitly, until
i turn it off, which isnt really a solution. Does anyone know what is
going on?

If you can access using Safe Mode I suggest you Disable automatic
restart on system failure. This should help by allowing time to write
down the STOP code properly. Right click on the My Computer icon
on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced, StartUp and
Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before Automatically
Restart.

Enable automatic restart on system failure after you have captured /
copied and pasted the message in a further post here.

There will also be Error Reports in Event Viewer. Please post copies.

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.

rebooting in safe mode. I still do not know what caused this issue, the
