bsod - Windows XP Blue-Screens And Reboots Instantly On Boot-Up


My computer was running perfectly until yesterday; my internet suddenly died. Being wireless, I decided to reboot; now the computer doesn't boot. It shows the "Starting Windows" screen (safe mode loads several drivers), then it suddenly blue-screens and immediately reboots (I cannot read the blue-screen contents at all).


I've tried safe-mode (with and without networking); no dice. I booted another HD with another XP install and ran scandisk on my HDs; no bad sectors, and even with auto-repair, it didn't fix the problem.


Now what? What are my options to fix the broken XP install? I'm thinking:


1) Remove wireless card 2) Run XP install CD and repair installation 3) ???



Answer



Here is a site that tells how to disable the auto-reboot after a BSOD, this should make it easier to see what is causing the blue screen.
