my computer keeps rebooting. when the screen posts, it
would list the two hard drives on my computer, however,
it would then take me to a screen asking to "start
normally" or "start with last configuration that
worked". this is the same with clicking safe mode, safe
mode with network, or command prompt. clicking either of
the two would reboot the computer. please help me out
here!!
 
Hello
Will need a little more info.
Will your puter start in safe mode, restore back to time prior to the
problem.
Will it start to Last Known Good Configuration.

1 - Download & Run ZoneAlarm Firewall. (free)

2 - Download, Update & Run Ad-Aware Spy Remover. (free)

3 - Download & Run a free virus scanner to double check your current one.

4 - Be sure to visit Microsoft's Windows Update site and download all the
windows updates this is for your security and safety.

Be sure your virus protection has been registered and auto update is enabled

thanks for the response.
selecting either "start in safe mode", "start normally",
and "last config that worked", will reboot the computer
and the whole cycle starts over.

i already have zonealarm and my antivirus is ALWAYS
updated. and i always run adaware 6.0 daily. could this
be a hardware failure? or software?
 
Hello
Yes it could be hardware failure, you can try unplugging the ram chips 1 at
a time if more then 1, you can try unplugging the PCI cards 1 at a time,
also try unplugging the mouse & keyboard, start the puter after unplugging
each device.

If all else fails try a repair install.
