| 470630 | 2006-07-13 23:58:00 | well do you have anything that will help ? | jason5578 (10717) | ||
| 470631 | 2006-07-14 00:17:00 | identify the type of drive........seagate/western digital/whatever then goto the manufacturers site and download and run their diagnostic..... when you say windows restarts do you get any kind of message or does it just shutdown all by itself and if so does it just suddenly poweroff ?.......after this does it restart ok or do you have troubles ?............it maybe worth lookin at the motherboard to check fi any of the capacitors are starting to bulge on the tops cause that'll certainly cause similar probs.......could also be your powersupply |

| 470632 | 2006-07-14 00:26:00 | Have you opened up the case and looked at the capacitors on the motherboard? I had problems of random re-booting over several months, then finally the machine would not boot up at all. 5 caps on the motherboard had fluid oozing out of them. It's a known problem: Bad Caps (en.wikipedia.org) |

| 470633 | 2006-07-14 02:24:00 | Bad caps (been there, done that!) is good to check for but it doesn't seem to explain why you can't get into Safe Mode . The bad news is that it could be any one of many things which could well mean that a forum solution may not be readily available/possible . Assuming you use XP (good idea to give this info when posting) you should turn off the auto start at system failure . This allows the blue screen info to stay on the screen . Rt click My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Startup and Recovery Settings . At System Failure, uncheck Automatically Restart, then reboot . If you get blue screens, note what the STOP error is and repost . You should also check the system Application and System logs in case there are indicative errors there . (Rt click My Computer/Manage/Event Viewer) . |
