you mean you cannot even enter into the system?
if yes then try booting in safemode, and from there uninstall that program,
restart back in normal mode, does it boot fine now?

 

by: Chris2AgePosted on 2006-02-07 at 02:31:56ID: 15890804

The continuously reboot is the automatic reboot option after a blue screen of death. So try the last known good config (Press F8 on Boot) or boot into safe mode.
If all fails try a repair.

Best Regards
Chris

Can you get into safemode?
If so check your boot.ini  r/click my computer properties advanced start up and recovery settings edit anything after /fastdetect take it back
save the changes. uninstall this hide or open its options and put back  original settings .undo.

The crash may be caused by faulty ram or device driver error. The system event log and the minidump has the most useful diagnostic information. When Windows crashes with blue screen, it writes a system event 1001 or 1003 and a minidump to the folder \windows\minidump. Check system event 1001 and 1003 and it has the detail of the blue screen.

Event ID: 1001
Source: Save Dump
Description:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.The bugcheck was : 0xc000000a (0xe1270188, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804032100).

Description:
Error code 1000007f, parameter1 0000000d, parameter2 00000000, parameter3 00000000, parameter4 00000000

Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> System -> Event 1001/1003. Copy the content and paste it back here

Zip 5 to 6 minidumps to a zip file and attach it at any webspace. I will study the dump and find out the culprit. If you can't provide the minidumps, run memtest to stress test the ram. Make sure that your windows is not infected with spyware and adware.

Get public webspace
Use a free service like rapidshare to attach the minidumps and post the url of the mimidumps at this thread.
