599963 2007-10-10 07:33:00 Hi all,

I have recently had a major issue develop where I can get to the log-on screen, click to log-in, see the desktop for about 15 seconds and then the system reboots itself. Every time I restart it does exactly the same thing.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what the issue might be and how I can get it fixed.

Thanks heaps to anyone who has a suggestion.

Cheers

599964 2007-10-10 07:41:00 Might help, if u can tell us, what version of Windows (if you use Windows), is on this computer, thats crashing.

If 98/2k/XP, (or Vista if it can do this) can it boot into safe mode, without crashing?

599965 2007-10-10 07:54:00 Apologies, the PC at fault is running XP Professional.

This may sound like a silly question but how do I boot in safe mode? It doesn't seem to want to do much more than log-in and then reboot.

599966 2007-10-10 07:58:00 Reboot and hold F8 down. (on some motherboards F8 also brings up the boot menu). If yours does after it boots, hold F8 down again.

Hopefully it'll come up with a menu.

Safe mode is one of the options here. Select it then press enter.

Wait for the login screen to appear, if it needs a password, type it in, and see if it crashes again.

How long has it been crashing? Can you remember what you installed (either hardware or software), before it started crashing?

599967 2007-10-10 08:14:00 Ok I got it started in safe mode.

It has been happening for about 2 weeks and the last thing I can think of that may have had an impact was my pc crashed when I was trying to download a windows update.

What do I need to do now?

599968 2007-10-10 08:21:00 Has it crashed yet?

If not, try getting HijackThis from Speedys links. Copy and paste it here so he can analyse it.

599969 2007-10-10 08:23:00 And it hasnt crashed in safe mode yet?

Go to start/run, and type msconfig . Tell me whats under the startup tab .

Look for any strange file names here .

Write down the paths / and filenames that appear in the startup tab .

Post them here .

You could try and download hijackthis in my sig below, and somehow get it on this computer thats crashing . (Is this computer networked)?

599970 2007-10-10 08:36:00 If the computer is connected to the net via ethernet then choose the option of Safe Mode with Networking and you will have internet access. Download Hijackthis and post here all from the problem computer. berryb (99)
599971 2007-10-10 08:36:00 These are the tasks that are checked under the startup tab:

qttaste
ituneshelper
carpserv
SiSUSBrg
SOUNDMAN
AnyDVD
PDVDServ
NeroCheck
CCAPP
UsrPrmpt
HPWUSchd2
MiciTrayApp
dumprep O -k
ALUNOTIFY
NMBgMonitor
ctfmon
Acrobat assistant
Adobe Gamma Loader
Hp Digital Imaging Monitor
HP Photosmart Premier
Utility Tray
Xtra Help Assistant

Is there any of those that I should get the file path for in particular?

The PCs aren't networked - this is old PC and changing the monitor between the two.

Thanks heaps for your help so far
