Grake Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hello,as the topic title says, my computer keeps restarting everytime when it gets to the windows xp loading screen where the blue bar runs. I don't see that screen though, it just restarts at that point. It gives me a bsod screen but it's there only for a micro second. Can't read that fast And keeps restarting no matter what i try. Safe mode won't work either, formatting and re-installing xp doesn't work, when it restarts after formatting to install xp it restarts at that screen. I tired that boot disc that's been going around bart PE, that also doesn't work.I pulled out all the hardware except hard drive, a stick of ram and video card. Still a no go. Tested the video card on another computer, it's fine. Tested the hd it's fine. Tested the ram it's fine.I don't see anything wrong with the motherboard.so lol, what can it be?Please help thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjz Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Also boot into safe mode and disable auto restart. after bsod is sys pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior1109 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 This is possibly a driver problem, or, another possibility is a faulty PSU. Another possible solution is set the bios to failsefe defaults and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyron123 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Its usually one of two thingsYour system is over heating.. so check if you Processor is plugged in properly or you RAM is messed up, try using different sticks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grake Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Well nothing resolved the issue. I think I narrowed it down to this:http://usa.asus.com/mb/socket478/p4b533/jumper.htmIt's 2.0 Ghz P4Mobo: P4b533What do I set those jumper things as? I tried setting a couple but nothing changes.I hear on the speaker that system failed due to over clocking lol. IM not trying to overclock it just trying to get the blasted thing to boot up.

Hatefulsorrow Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Are you using a custom boot? I've had this happen when the pallete is wrong in the ntoskrnl.exe try using the cd recovery util and overwrite the ntoskrnl.exe in %windir%\system32 with the one from the cd.Make sure you expand it after the copy though.Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyron123 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 What are your default jumper setting? keep it on those....if you cutomize your boot it would throw up an error, not restart automatically...see if this link helps you out.. http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000689.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grake Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) nop, a normal windows xp cd. It lets me set the cpu frequency in bios, then i put the same frequency on the mobo. But tells me im trying to overclock it.or its telling my system failed cpu test. OK lol, i put that to default.1 time I restart it says system failed cpu test from speakers, monitor doens't come on at all or anythinganothe time I restart it says cpu overclocking error from speakers, monitor doens't come on at allanother time i restart it goes fine until it gets to xp loading screen and restarts itselfsometimes i restart it goes into safemode bios and goes last time the booting had errors due to improper frequency settings. set the frequency properly and restartI try to get into the hard drive safe mode it restarts at the agpsomethingsomething pointI try to press the f key to get into safe mode another way it says hard disk failure.So the times it works it can't get into hd?bah i feel like throwing this junk out.

tyron123 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 lol.. sounds like a motherboard problem.. then again im guessin its can be a combo, between ur motherboard n processor. try the processor on a different mobo and see if it works and vice..anre you bios settings on default as well?

Grake Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 ok I cleaned out the heatsink and stuff and I got a bit far from. It goes into installation after restarting then goes into windows installation. Goes into 36th minute of installing devices, and restarts at that point everytime.Any ideas?

dymo310 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 i have seen this happen if you boot on a serial-disk and have several disks installed (IDE-ATA/Serials). disconnect all wires from the other disks and try again - worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
