Occasionally my Win2k SP4 system will reboot just as it's almost finished
booting. When I start or reboot my system, right after Zone Alarm loads the
drive will go silent for a couple of seconds and then start up again. I
have no idea what it's doing or if it's starting another program etc., but
suddenly there will be a Blue error screen for maybe a half of a second -
much to quick to read and it will reboot. When it starts this cycle, it
will continuously do the same thing. The only way I've been able to get
around it so far is when it does this is to boot in Safe Mode and Reboot in
to normal mode.
Is there a way I can find out what's going on and what's causing the
continuous reboot?
My system:
Dell Dimension 8100 1.5GHz, 1MB RDRAM, Windows 2000 SP4 with all latest
security updates etc.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
