Any sugestions would be great as I rea;lly really dont wana install fresh windows again

Thanks guys

First of all make sure you're virus & spyware free.

Then I'd look at network card / modem drivers. Either roll them back or install the latest drivers for them.

Something else to try is Right click My Computer, select properties, Advanced tab, click startup & recovery settings. Untick the "Automatically restart" check box and click Ok. Now when your computer tries to restart you should get a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) which may contain extra info. If you can get a BSOD you might find something like NDIS.SYS or USB.SYS or some other module mentioned. This can help to identify the problem area if the first two things don't work.

Ok I reformated my pc installed fresh windows ( installed utilati disck and drivers ) Installed Graphics card driver everything is fine untill I go on the net soon as I go on the net boom PC crash I did disable restart option but it keeps restarting anyways with out any error message

any other sujestion ?

also do I still need to do a virus test on freshly formated HD ?

will try that now any other sujestions guys? I might of mised?

Does it only restart when you connect to the internet? do you mean open a browser? because if you have highspeed you'd always be connected, so do you have dialup?

If the problem is connecting to the internet you could have a faulty nic or if you have an onboard nic, it could be the motherboard. Try updating drivings for the motherboard or nic. If you've just put a fresh install of windows, it can't be a browser problem, defrag problem, virus, spyware, whatever. Does it only work for a few minutes at a time and restart always? or does it work for a few, restart and then it's fine?

What is your cpu temp? Maybe it is overheating and needs a better heatsink/fan or you need more thermal paste.

That's all I can think of without more information.

To update the motherboard, you'll need to know the manufacturer. After that, just go to the website and look for the drivers for your model. The only drivers you will probably need to updated are for the onboard ethernet (if you have that). If not, update the NIC drivers. You might be able to get those from microsoft.com via a driver update. (right click my computer>properties>hardware>device manager>network adapters>update driver

On second thought, the onboard ethernet can probably be updated the same way, so use that for both. If that doesn't work, you either need a new NIC or new motherboard. It's got to be a hardware issue and it's more than likely an issue with the nic, whatever form you might have.

Of course I'm no genius so it could be something completely different but that's my guess.

ok I have a new problem after formating the potition and trying to install Windows XP profeccioanl with SP2 I get a new message from start up

"error loading operating system"


Now my keyboard does not work for me to go in to bios to boot up from CD does anyone know how can I fix this ?

Thanks

Well the first thing you should have done is made sure the BSOD was enabled. That way instead just restarting you will get error codes.
Right click on the "My Computer" icon in the start menu
From the little pop-up menu select "Properties"
The System Properties dialog should appear
Locate and select the "Advanced" tab
The third section should be called "Startup and Recovery"
Click "Settings" from the "Startup and Recovery" section
The "Starup and Recovery" dialog will appear
The section section should be called "Systme failure" and the third option is "Automatically restart"
Uncheck "Automatically restart" and click on Ok/Apply on all open windows

I did do that bro but No error message come up pc keeps restarting by its self when i check the settings its disabled auto restart but pc keeps restarting I havea bigger problem now, when pc starts it does not even get to windows loading screen and boom it crashis with this nice message

"error loading operating system"


and that message comes up bifore it even loads windows or anything I cant get in to my BIOS as keyboard not seem2 be responding. what i want to know is there way to by pass that so I can get to windows or Boot up from CD ? or even BIOS so I can make it boot up from CD ?

Go to run this then EventVwr.msc . Look for dumps or error messages. (If you haven't yet)


Edit:
Scratch that i was going off your opening post, it seems your OS is jacked up worse now.

Go into your Bios and make sure you have the right boot priorities setup. Make sure they are in the right order if you can post your options here.
