hey guys,

I have a tower: Celeron 566
Bios Version 4s4eb2xo.86a.0023.p16
256mb of ram
OS: windows XP SP2 integrated

After I formated hd I installed win and the install went really good. When I applied critical updates and security patches I restart the tower and the computer just keeps rebooting. Before the updates I passed the post screen and booted no problem.
I have this problem on 2nd computer as well. Same symptoms so its not hardware related. Before the format computer was functional.

any ideas ?? Could it be bios update ?

hold on some drivers will do that,

I looked that up before when my box did that one time,

let me check it out

thx

trying to find new version of bios, after that I cant think of anythin

[cmptrgydv]

no it's not bios, if both box's do it, something is wrong in windows

[cmptrgydv]

will it start in safe mode

[fakan]

confusing part is that on one computer I installed win XP SP2 intergrated latest version ( not in stores beta ) and on other computer I installed win XP which I used before on few towers with big success

cant think of anything but bios, before I head same problem and the fix was bios update

[fakan]

safe mode is useless, exactly same just restarts

[cmptrgydv]

well you can try this,

put XP disk in start recovery counsole,

and type bootcfg /list

then type bootcfg /rebuild

[fakan]

just tested the ram with memtest -86 and pass was succesful

[cmptrgydv]

but I bet it's some driver problem, but maybe not,

these things are always a shot in the dark
