Gets To XP Logo Then Reboots
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend's mother has broken her PC and I'm trying to fix it. When she boots up her PC she will get to the Win XP icon but then it reboots itself. She told me she had gone out, leaving her PC on. When she got back she had some kind of message from AOL about an update saying she needed to restart which she did. After that she got into this constant booting - WinXP logo - reboot loop.
First thing I tried was wiping the PC. I've taught her well enough for her to keep regular backups :) This seemed to work for a few restarts but then I started getting the problem. I've gone into the XP recovery console and try running CHKDSK with the /r parameter. First time, it didn't complete. 2nd time it said it found and fixed some problems. Still getting the same error though. I'm going to keep running chkdsk, but I was wondering if anyone else knew some other things I could try.
I don't want to open the PC case as this will void her waranty if I need to send it back.
Cheers,
Lee
