Vista Reboot Loop

Anytime I restart by clicking restart on the start menu or when a program wants to restart, vista will reboot and and just loop in a reboot mode constantly until I press the power button on my computer and turn in off that way and then when I turn it back on it's fine and boots into windows. Usually I just tell the comp to shutdown and then press the power buttton to turn it back on but this gets tiresome some times. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Vista Reboot Loop

No thats not it, it wasn't becuase of an update it does it the moment after I install Vista and if an app wants to restart or I click retsart, vista shuts down and reboots the comp but right before displaying the loading page it will reboot the computer again and agin and agin unless i press the power buttton and shutdown that way and then power it back up. I have to click shutdown or tell an app not to restart the computer to avoid the problem

Re: Vista Reboot Loop

Shucks....it sounds so much like that problem, even XP's have endless rebooting with BSOD, these days. I have an idea- If the SAM file is deleted away the computer will be unable to start-up. Try this: Fix Deleted SAM File Causing Windows Vista Unable to Boot Error » Tip and Trick

Just in case: How to Open Windows Vista Recovery Environment (RE) Console from Installation CD » Tip and Trick This is where we really have to know your system specs, because of things like this: Stop error when you try to restart a Windows PE 2.0 system that uses AMD Barcelona processor and that has the Operating System Capabilities (_OSC) method enabled in the BIOS: "STOP: 0x0000007B (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE)"
