One of my families desktops simply reboots about halfway
through a start-up, still at the Windows XP screen. I
have installed on this desktops BlackIce fire wall,
Norton Utilities 2004 (anti-virus, goback, etc.), and
spybot. I have come up in Safemode and have run Nortons
anti-virus {does not find any signs of a virus}, spybot
{found and removed one autorun application amoung the
varios tracking cookies which I also had it remove}, yet
it still continues in the the cycle of rebooting. I have
tried to use GoBack but I can not find a saved
configuration that works. Does anyone have a solution
short of reloading the OS? All help will be appreciated.

hi,

got exactly the same problem myself. Had an independent
IT guy look at the pc, to be told to format and start
again. Did that and the system still hangs on startup!
four formats later, numerous virus scans by norton,
Mcafee and Pc cillin and it still won't fix. Next step
for me is to send the whole lot back and get my money
back. The pc is going back to Asus and the operating
system is on it's way back to the supplier. Looking at a
mac with any other operating system as I've had it with
windows malfunctions and fatal errors!
