I Hate windows XP.. So I decide to go back to win 98. I install it without a hitch and it's going to rebootloadup the first time and just before it's suppose to get to the desktop screen (after the splash screen) it reboots.. It keeps looping at the same spot.. SO I install win xp again and grab Windows 98se. Formtat and instal 98se.. SAME THING! I've gone through all the message threads and the only thing I;ve read is that the autoexec.bat may be calling the win.com program, but this isn't rebooting at that point.. the autoexec.bat has been loaded already at this point.. I had to install XP again to access this forum and ask for help. System specs: Not that I think it should matter. MSI Kt7 Pro Turbo AMD Athlon 1.0 (Not overclocked) 640 MD Sdr13 ram GE Force 2 GTS 4x AGP card.

Hey, I had that problem and found out that resetting the cmos helped. However i would advise you to reformat your drive and do a clean install. Why am i saying this? well i believe XP leaves lots of fragments when uninstalled.

Hi, I had exactly the same problem. I have MSI KT7 Turbo LE + athlon 1GHz (also not overclocked). The system occasionally resets. With no warning at all. As I was told, several solutions can be applied: a) BIOS. The latest MSI BIOS for my mobo is buggy b) Installation of the latest VIA drivers is necessary(4in1434) c) Virus detection in BIOS should be off d) no onboard audio I'm going to reinstall XP today. Hope I'll succeed.
