BSOD / Reboot Cycling (possibly after windows update?)
- by Mikey.B
Windows XP SP3
Hi Guys,
My desktop PC rebooted during the night (presumably due to an automated Windows update) and was stuck on a file system check. I forced a reboot as it had been stuck for hours and now the system won't finish booting. It shows the Windows XP splash screen, briefly flickers what looks to be a BSOD, and then reboots.
So far, I've tried:
Booting into all variations of safe mode (just hangs)
Setting BIOS settings to fail-safe defaults (still reboots)
Choosing the start-up option to load last known good configuration (still reboots)
Any suggestions on how to proceed here? I haven't installed any recent software or hardware so I don't think this is a result of any explicit change I've made.
