1109136 2010-06-18 10:33:00 No it should be in the menu, when you press F8 (disable auto-restart), or something Speedy Gonzales (78)
1109137 2010-06-18 10:41:00 No, there is no disable auto restart option in F8. lakewoodlady (103)
1109138 2010-06-18 10:50:00 So, you dont see this menu, or the 9th option?? Disable automatic restart? This is after you reboot then press/hold F8 down Speedy Gonzales (78)
1109139 2010-06-18 10:54:00 Well, yeah could be RAM but didn't want to take it out if I could help it pretty awkward to get at. And if I did get it out to look at, Not sure what to look for.

You don't need to take it out or look at it. You can just run Memtest86+ http://www.memtest.org/

Run at least an hour, if any errors show up then you'll have to start swapping RAM.

If not, move on to checking the hard drive. I recommend HDAT2. http://www.hdat2.com/ Check the SMART status of the drive, if anything shows up as errors, post them here.

1109140 2010-06-18 10:55:00 Ah ha, just found it by pressing F8 continuously! Thought I was before, but obviously not enough. Now there appears a BOSD. lakewoodlady (103)
1109141 2010-06-18 10:57:00 Whats the stop error? It'll be 0xxxxxxxxx. Does it show the name of a file? Since you've found it now, does safe mode work? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1109142 2010-06-18 11:01:00 Speedy, I restarted it as suggested, but selecting Disable auto restart has not made any difference and it is still going round in circles is there anything else I could select from that menu which might help? lakewoodlady (103)
1109143 2010-06-18 11:04:00 The stop error is 0x00000024 (0x001902FE,0xF896D6D4,0xF896D3D0,0xF83F0F73) lakewoodlady (103)
