Windows xp constantly reboots on startup

What exactly happened here with the BIOS update? This can be tricky. I'd would try it again and hopefully this will solve the problem. I downloaded and ran Memtest 86 on my old memory the memory I originally found errors on I got 1 error on pass 8, 1 on pass 11 and 1 on pass Any thoughts on this? Is it normal to get a few errors? Is this bad memory or not? I also ran this on the new memory and had no errors at all. The original memory program I used was Windows Memory Diagnostics downloaded from windows error reporting page.

When I ran that I got errors on the 1st pass for 3 tests. If Memtest86 found errors with your old RAM then your old ram is bad. Sometimes memtest86 misses some marginal memory errors reports good mem when it's bad but never bad mem when it's good. That's weird that you keep running into the BIOS update error thing. Read the website mobo instructions again and double, triple check you have all the files required on the boot floppy. It's possible they have an error with their flash utility, but you'd think ppl would have freaked out at them and they'd have that fixed.

Only other thing I can suggest is upping your Vcore and Vdram voltages by minimal allowed smallest step in BIOS and see if that makes things more stable. Watch your CPU temps though because this can create more heat. But this would be minimal bc's you're not increasing the clock freq too. Simple fix for stopping the XP Logo "looping" Hi! I work in a school environment with a large quantity of both desktops and laptops. This works well especially if you have multiple partitiions.

It's not unheard of to have brand new faulty RAM. Increasing your VDram voltage by a little will not hurt it unless you way over do it. But a low or high setting will only add the little minimal step I mentioned in last post. So try that. Have you only just reinstalled WinXP and on the 1st reboot it started this problem? To test it i have created image using Winlogon macro and fewthings as your described to bring up the device.

As expected device got bootup. As you mentioned in the above thread that adding Generic device driver component will support Keyboard and Mouse.

I have added the same thing as part of my image. Is this problem for not able to detect keyboard?? The bus to bus drivers need to be in the image for the image to boot correctly.

Start Windows Normally" I choose "Start Windows Normally" , and then it shows as if it starts windows with the Windows XP logo - but after a few seconds then, restart again!

I tried "Safe mode with Networking" but it didn't work also. How can I fix this problem? Thank you! This thread is locked.

My first idea is that it is the bios, but the disk drive aint working so I can't upgrage it for now.
