Comment:

I built my computer several months ago and just recently I started experiancing problems. My computer would blue screen frequently and I had problems booting up. Sometimes when I would get to the boot up screen the bar would fill all the way up but then the computer would suddenly restart. To solve the problem I would have to reboot in safe mode and then reboot again. I decided to reinstall windows and ran a hard disk utility that writes zeros to the drive completely erasing all information. After I did this I reinstalled Windows 2000 and it got rid of all of my blue screen problems but I'm still having the boot problem where the computer restarts. I have all my drivers updated and I have installed all of the Windows updates. If anyone can help me I would be very greatful.

System specs:
Windows 2000 Pro
1.4 Ghz Athlon
Epox 8K7A+ mobo
Gefoce 3
Sound Blaster Audigy
256 DDR RAM
ATA 100 60 GB HDD

Follow this---Control Panel-Computer Management-Action Tab-Properties-Advanced-Startup & Recovery and uncheck "Automatically Reboot". This should stop the rebooting. But you need to go into event viewer and log files to find out WHAT is the cause and correct the problem.

Something similar happened to me when I added a 2nd CD-Rom on the same IDE channel. When I had only a HP CD-Writer CD 16 on that IDE channel, my computer ran fine. When I added an Acer DVD/CD player to the same IDE channel as a slave, my computer would restart during bootup. I had to separate the two CD/DVD players. One is now on the first IDE line and the other is on the 2nd IDE line. No problems since I separated the two.

So if you have 2 CD-Roms, . . . . .

Had the same problem when changing my fans.
No one is connected to the motherboard fan controls.
