Re-boot loop

My workstation keeps rebooting itself before it boot's into windows.
I have re ghosted it a couple of times which seems to sort things out for a few months, but then it'll start rebooting itself again.

Please could you offer me any other soultions??

Kind regard
 
Hayley,

Can you give some more information please. Like what apps are you running. What's included on the ghosted image (& was the image taken from this machine/hardware clone or something different). Have you tried a normal reinstall of operating system & apps? Are there any other symptoms/warnings signs? (or does it work perfectly until one day - zap). Any other events since re-image (add/remove hardware/software, major crash, virus etc)?
 
Well it was ghosted from an image we use on all the machines. Has the very bacis appz's loaded onto the machine, eg, office should be all.
This is the only machine with this problem.
When it boot's up it goes into the blue screen to do a physical memory dump, stops at black screen and then restart's itself.
 
Then it sounds like its probably a hardware component going bad (presumably machine is same/similar to others - so all drivers should be ok?). How long after re-ghosting does it start going bad? (Bad hardware components can be difficult to track down - especially if you don't know how long it takes to fail! I'd suggest replacing the RAM - or running with one stick if more than one, and one's enough to run it as a start point).
