Hi Was wondering if someone could help me. My main computer is hardly ever turned off but on the odd occasion when I do turn it off it can take between 2-8 restarts to get it going again!! I have just reinstalled windows and it has started doing it again. I just starts and before it gets to the login screen it restarts. Any Ideas?? cheers Columbo1977 Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers and nobody thinks of complaining. -Jeff Raskin-

The plot thickens.,...... see this post, http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/... this is the same computer. When I unplugged all of the USB devices from the computer it seems to be starting properly???? I dont get it? cheers Columbo1977 Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way.

It is not a good policy to start another thread when your other was only posted yesterday and you are not responding to it. For the restarting uncheck automatically restart and then post the EXACT error message next time it shuts down. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
