crash loop

About this tag
A crash loop occurs when an application or system process repeatedly crashes and restarts, often preventing normal use. On WindowsForum.com, users have reported crash loops in various contexts, including Windows Explorer crashing after connecting to Wi-Fi on a Windows Longhorn build, a boot-time crash loop caused by display driver issues (atikmpag.sys) on an HP laptop, and a system crash loop during Windows 7 installation after hardware upgrades. These threads typically involve troubleshooting steps such as booting into Safe Mode, updating or rolling back drivers, checking for hardware conflicts, or performing system repairs. The tag covers recurring crash scenarios where the system or an application enters an unending cycle of failure and restart.
