boot up problem

Please help, I am running xp, when I boot up puter, I get to the log on screen, I type in my password, It loads my settings, then it reboots, and I have to log on again, How can I find out what is not installing or booting up properly. I do have my windows up to date, and i do run virus scans. Please help, Thanks

 

Thanks for your help. I will give it a try, also I forgot to put in ,when I finally get on after the second try of password, I get a microsoft error message,either to send or not send I tried both options nothing has cleared this issue. Thanks again

 

Dont have xp disk,came preloaded.

 

I had the same problem. Drove me nuts for a month! I suspected tht it had something to do with windows trying to detect network connections. I disabled them one at a time and tried to reboot. Sure enough, when I disabled my 1394 connection, the problem went away and hasn't returned! I don't use my firewire connection anyway.

Good Luck!

 

Thanks for your input, I will give it a try. I use wireless for my connection

 

Where do I go to disable?

 

Still getting error after disable 1394,so I put it back in cnnected. My error report reads as follows:C\Docume~1\ownwer\locals~1\temp\wer3a15.dir00\mini062506-03.dmp Also C:\docume~1\owner\locals~1temp\wer3a15.dir\sysdate.xml and last the same until wer9fde.dir00\mini063006-03.dmp Hope you can help with getting rid of these error reports,I sent it to microsoft,they dont have the fix for them. Hope you can help. Thanks

 

I will give it a try. Thanks

 

Should I have it run at start-up? Also where is save back-up? I looked in issues could not find
it. Also in utilities I have spybot and EZ antivirus scan should I uncheck them? or will it delete them if they are checked? I dl cc cleaner just didnt run it with these questions If I leave everything in default mode for cc cleaner, what do you think? thanks again

 

Ran cleaner, ran spybot and virus scan, all seemed ok, but when I was online, all of a sudden it dumped me offline, and it went to the boot-up screnn again and I had to re-log onto puter. Any ideas??? Thanks Not sure what you mean about running cc from windows pane and not applications. I downloaded cc then I ran cleaner. Thanks again.

 

Thx I will give it a try.

 

I just read the note that you sent with the specific errors. I'm not positive, but this could be a problem with your video driver. Are we talking about a PC or notebook computer? What kind of video card do you have? Are you sure that you have the latest driver for your video card installed? Have you recently updated the driver for your video card or monitor just prior to getting the problem?

Let me know.

 

In addition I recommend disabling Automatic Restart within:

Right click on My Computer, select properties, click the Advanced Tab, then within "Startup and Recovery Settings", uncheck Automatic Restart. Press Ok, Ok....

Now when you get that BSOD, we can find out what error code you are receiving, and perhaps narrow down your issue.

Also, uploading that .dmp file located within c:\windows\minidump would also be helpful. Note the latest should be okay. Someone here can analyze it for ye.

 

It's a pc, not sure of video card, how do I update video driver? If I uncheck auto start, and if there is a problem what will happen to puter without auto start? Thanks again

 

Need help, still having problems, ...when I boot-up and before I'm online and entering my password, or If I get online, my puter boots me offline and it restarts and I have to log in. Microsoft report can not help me... can anybody help me through this and let me know what my next step would be. Thanks again

 

How do I upgrade video card? Thanks

 

So, even with setting the computer to not autoreboot, within "Startup and recovery" options still reboots your machine?

Also, can you attach this: C\Docume~1\ownwer\locals~1\temp\wer3a15.dir00\mini062506-03.dmp

Or any other file (latest preferable) within c:\windows\minidump

 

Is there any programs out there that I can run to help me either update my unknown driver problem that I have, or find out which one is causing my shut down problem that I am having. I have sent report to Microsoft and It comes back unknown driver. I have basic setup for puter, no gaming devices hooked up. Any help would be greatful. Thanks

 

It may be as simple as a software conflict. Maybe one of your startup programs is malfunctioning. Try disabling a few via the msconfig utility in safe mode. Go to start->run, type msconfig and click ok. Select the Startup tab and deselect programs you don't absolutely need. Click ok and reboot.

 

I will give it a try thank-you.
