Computer Won't Boot Up

(1/3) > >>

UncaBuffalo:
I inherited a computer lab with some semi-ancient desktops that have had a hard life.  I got a few of them running, but issues on the others...

First issue, computer that starts to boot up...gets to Windows XP screen...then drops out and starts over...ad infinitum...

Ideas?

Rennhack:
Google "windows safe mode", that should get you started down the right path.

Make sure there is no disc in the drive!  That one got me a few times...More recently a flash drive in my usb port caused this as well.  Not usually this simple but sometimes you get lucky...
