| 53281 | 2002-06-08 22:41:00 | Windows 98, Pentium II starts to load as usual, and then gets to a point where it reboots itself. There is a blue screen with an error message but it disappears too quickly to read. Won't load in safe mode, and have tried restoring registry from safe mode with command prompt. Same result. What else can I try? Other than a complete reformat. |

| 53283 | 2002-06-08 23:34:00 | that happened to me once, had me really stumped, turned out that there was a plug that wasn't quite in the hole somewhere. It also gave me random reboots after running OK for a while. I cant remember which plug, it was a long time ago, but if you open up the box, and push everything into the right holes HARD, the problem might go away. | Guest (0) | ||

| 53285 | 2002-06-09 04:15:00 | Do you have an up_to_date anti virus programme? Some virus's/trojans change registry settings and this maybe the problem. Just a thought. | Guest (0) | ||
| 53286 | 2002-06-11 13:01:00 | Hi Bunny, If you have been using DriveSpace to compress one of your drives, have a look at Q130018 on the MS knowledge base. It describes a continuous reboot loop on win 98. HTH PC |
