Anytime I restart by clicking restart on the start menu or when a program wants to restart, vista will reboot and and just loop in a reboot mode constantly until I press the power button on my computer and turn in off that way and then when I turn it back on it's fine and boots into windows. Usually I just tell the comp to shutdown and then press the power buttton to turn it back on but this gets tiresome some times. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Windows Vista Vista Reboot Loop
- Thread starter Steven20
- Start date
No thats not it, it wasn't becuase of an update it does it the moment after I install Vista and if an app wants to restart or I click retsart, vista shuts down and reboots the comp but right before displaying the loading page it will reboot the computer again and agin and agin unless i press the power buttton and shutdown that way and then power it back up. I have to click shutdown or tell an app not to restart the computer to avoid the problem

Shucks....it sounds so much like that problem, even XP's have endless rebooting with BSOD, these days. I have an idea- If the SAM file is deleted away the computer will be unable to start-up. Try this: Fix Deleted SAM File Causing Windows Vista Unable to Boot Error » Tip and Trick

Just in case: How to Open Windows Vista Recovery Environment (RE) Console from Installation CD » Tip and Trick This is where we really have to know your system specs, because of things like this: Stop error when you try to restart a Windows PE 2.0 system that uses AMD Barcelona processor and that has the Operating System Capabilities (_OSC) method enabled in the BIOS: "STOP: 0x0000007B (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE)"

Hi!!! This is a real good one..... Things that can cause endless rebooting: Overheating, spyware/virus/adware, PSU, VideoCard, Conflicting Software-running in the background. (I've heard of some new internal card reader causing endless rebooting- but can't confirm). Possible virus maybe, with the two different type installs- unusual. I've even thought about insufficient RAM causing endless rebooting, it kills a lot of XP memory. But it wouldn't have these symptoms. (Compaq Evo, runs hot, hard to install Vista). Have you talked to HP Total Care?

That's good to know. I made myself a note, not to install when I get my PC back together.
Thanks

He says he didn't do any updates, there wasn't time. I know about automatic updates after Vista install.....I suppose He's gotta talk to somebody-
