Name: Doug
My computer is having trouble booting, I can boot it into safemode, but whenever I try a normal boot I get to the screen that says "Preparing Network Connections.." then my computer restarts its self.
Specs: Dell Dimmension L800R, 384mbs RAM, 800MHz CPU, 20 GB Harddrive. OS Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (Latest Right?)
Yes there is, but without it I cannot access the internet. I am currently on the computer that won't boot normally, I am just in safe mode.

Mine is doing the same thing, only I can't even get it to boot in safe mode. Did you find any answers that would help? I'm on another computer trying to find some help.
Thanks.

Well removing the NIC allowed my computer too only progress alittle further. I now get to the login screen before my computer reboots itself. Another odd thing i noticed was at the windows 2000 loading splash screen, the progress bar doesn't progress, it just comes up half way full, then continues into windows.

go to ms knowledge base, lots of issues that can cause continious re-booting. some even from the service packs and patches ms has issued.

Experinced the same issues with W2K. Before the latest critical updates I would make sure you have IE6.0 SP1 installed. This seems to eliminate the problem. Since you already are having the constant reboot you can run the "repair" on your operating system. This usually fixes the problems as well.

I have made some new finds that might help for a quick solution. When i uninstall my NIC and video drivers my computer makes it as far as the screen, "Loading Personal Settings" then a blue screen flashes with an error too fast to read, and my computer reboots

i prevented the auto reboot, and i got this error
*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xBF991000,0X00000001, 0x8046214A,0x00000000) PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA *** Address 8046214A base at 80400000, DateStamp 3ee60002 - ntoskrnl.exe

I would try going back to SP3 and seeing if the problems go away.
Getting SP3 to the affected computer is the problem.... I'm not too sure how that would work. Download on a another computer, burn to CD, install in safe mode? But for those of you who can't even get into safe mode, I'm not sure how you would be able to install.
But there's gotta be some way.

hey doug,
ok my computer did it again today.i found my problem.here goes,on boot up i noticed it wasnt loading my cd rom and when it did this i couldnt launch windows past the splash screen.i rebooted again boot up found my cd rom and everything loaded fine,did it again a few times to see what was up, every time it didnt load my cd rom i couldnt launch windows.i diconnected cd rom power supply and my computer has been fine,actually its running faster.so check on boot up see if its loading your cd rom drive,just for fun disconnect it and see if loads up.i ll be going out this weekend i guess to buy a new drive.
goodluck man
