I am stuck in a boot loop. Everytime I power my computer on it takes between a minute and 5 mintues for it to turn itself off. I have done a quick search around on Google and here and all I found was to turn off automatic restarts after a system failure. I have tried this and it didn't work. The system works in safe mode (using now). I'm hoping this is not to do with the power supply or anything, and I am currently running a virus scan but I doubt this is a virus. Any Ideas? Thanks, Ed.

Check the Event Viewers -> System to see if anything reported there.

Forgot to mention those... When starting in safe mode i get these errors: DCOM got error "This service cannot be started in Safe Mode " attempting to start the service EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server: {1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF} The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: Fips Processor SYMTDI And when starting normally i get: The UPS service performed server shut down. I might be wrong, but I think the first two are just because of the restriction safe mode applies on the OS, and as for the second one Google churned up nothing at all.

who is the manufacturer? Or what system board do you have? Can use your help

FIPS, processor and SYMTDI is BAD. You been overclocking your system? Either Windows is corrupt or your processor is going bye-bye or not seated properly. Rule #1 Good computers don't go down. Rule #2 There is no such thing as a good computer.

Actually FIPS and processor. SYMTD1 is a service used by Norton. Rule #1 Good computers don't go down. Rule #2 There is no such thing as a good computer.

Rick is right. Your processor might be running too hot. Is your heatsink properly installed? tralalala
