zzr Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 My son informed me that when he was using the pc it automaically rebooted itself and went in to a reboot cycle. I managed at one point to get it into safe mode and tried using antivirus progs but could only get Adaware to run and it found 5 Virtumond viruses. After restarting again the computer just went into restart cycle and I couldn't even get it into safe mode.I tried restarting from the second drive but again no go. I tried doing an XP repair to windows and again no go. The only things I can think of doing next is removing the battery from the motherboard, disconnect the current 2 drives and try a third or reinstall Windows from scratch. Unless somebody has any further suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 You could try starting up from a live CD (Knoppix etc). That would help to determine if the problem is hardware or software, and it would also maybe let you inspect a few files.(config.sys autoexec.bat or their more up to date counterparts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
