Computer Continuously Reboots in Normal Mode
Computer Continuously Reboots in Normal Mode
(OP)
Hi,
I have a Windows XP Professional SP2 computer at the High Scool where I work at that continuously reboots when entering into Normal Mode. No Blue screens appear, just as mentioned above the computer continuously reboots when entering into Normal Mod.
I can get into the computer through Safe Mode without problems and the computer doesn't continuously reboot.
I tried re-installing Windows XP Professional SP2 and the problem still occurs. I also tried installing Windows 98SE after formatting the hard drive and the problem still occurrs.
I tried a different hard drive, different RAM, different power supply and still the same problem, continuously reboots when entering into Normal Mode.
Does anyone have suggestions and solutions?
Thanks!

The solution for hardware would be to download any advanced diags that the hardware vendor has and run them.
If you suspect it's a rootkit, try: http://w

Thanks for your posts! I forgot to mention that whether I format the hard drive and install win98se or windows xp professional, formatting the hard drive (30gb) takes a lot longer to format. I even tried a new 30GB hard drive and it took a lot longer to format than normal as well.
I'm going to try and run advanced diagnostic utilities from the hardware vendors as chipk suggested.
Is there any free boot cd diagnostic utilities that work well at diagnosing hardware problem?
The reason why I wish there was a good hardware diagnostic utility boot cd because I look after all the network cabling, printing support, software support, server support etc... while looking after 300 computers and 1200 people. Often times hardware is a fast fix but in some cases it takes a long time and this is one of those cases.
Thanks again!

Have you check the event log for anything that might point you to where the errors are?
