Re: Window XP Keep Restarting
Hi,
I have tried to do as you asked to the last post, I hope it now meets with your approval. Could you kindly mark my assignment and advise me of where I need to improve.
Yours in apprehension,

Bob


OK, if you have a new motherboard, this can be fixed by you just buying or getting a 300 watt power supply. But for now however, a bad RAM can cause that problem, it is a known cause for “blue screens” but while I have seen reboots from faulty or badly seated RAM, I have not seen this happening with the wrong power supply. Furthermore, you may want to check for a worm or other virus in windows XP sp 1 and 2 were known to get this problem of a blue screen when updating. You never known, but I hope this works for you. I also do repairs to PCs, I do not charge much and I accept PayPal payments only, I offer phone support and free shipping on all repairs.

Thank you,
Paul

Re: Window XP Keep Restarting
I try to repair the Window but it won't allow to repair but instead it ask to reinstall that means format the whole hard disk. Maybe thats the last resort like it or not. Before I forget I also notice there is a CMOS error like the on board battery died out or something. Now I am worry of the motherboard. I am afraid when the power supply burn it will burn the motherboard as well. It seem taking to much of my time now. Hope to solve this as soon as possible. Appreciate for all your help.

Re: Window XP Keep Restarting
Hi,
What happens when you try to install, what message do you get?
How are you trying to install? Booting from your OS CD?
I am not saying it does not happen, but I have never heard of a system asking for a reinstall instead of a repair! But then we learn something new everyday.
Have a look at this site,

Is this what you did to do the repair?

You have two choices if you have to reinstall, you can format and and do a clean install and all the data left on the drive/partition will be deleted or you can do an installation with the old windows still there without a format. This way you will still have all your data but you will have to reload all your programs and Windows SP3 and every update and hot fix since SP3.

CMOS error. Press F1 for default setting and Del for setup after the PC is off for more the 8 hours. The motherboard is about 3 years old. Dual core CPU with 512MB RAM. Power supply is 300 watt. It work before with the wattage. I kinda rule out the power supply and look into other alternative because I test with several power supply and its rather cheap. I am afraid it could be the motherboard now. Thanks.

Yeah. Try that but can't repair. It have to be a total reinstall of Window XP. I guess I have to format and install to see whether its hardware problem. Thanks.

Re: Window XP Keep Restarting
Ok,
A bit of a hassle but very little cost, go and buy a new battery for your motherboard. Boot to your setup screen (Press Del) (BIOS) and set the BIOS to load best default or something like that, save and exit. Your PC should then boot without a problem.

If you are going to reinstall, follow these instructions from a windows site.
To install Windows XP to a new folder (also known as a parallel installation), follow these steps:
Start your computer from the Windows XP CD (or boot disks). To do this, insert the Windows XP CD into your CD or DVD drive, and then restart your computer.
When the "Press any key to boot from CD" message appears on the screen, press any key to start the computer from the Windows XP CD.
At the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to begin Windows XP Setup.
Read the Microsoft Software License Terms, and then press F8.
Select the partition in which you want to install Windows XP, and then press ENTER.
Select the Leave the current file system intact (no changes) option, and then press ENTER to continue.
Press ESC to install to a different folder. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316941)
