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

Have you tried using the 'Repair' function utilising the os disk?

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
