help!!! xp machine starts to load then goes into a loop restartin
Hi, just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and can advice me on this:
We have a network room with thirty pc’s in, and it seems every couple of days I
lose a pc.
What happens is the machine starts to load and just at the start of the windows xp
Flag loading the machine restarts and then goes into loop doing the same thing.
This has now happen to around a third of the pc’s.
We have another room of 30 pc’s exactly the same build and make but this has not occurred so I’m running out of ideas, help please!!!!!!!!

Could be a virus have you virus scanned the 30 pc's that your getting the problem on?
Hi there,
just wondering if you can boot any of these machines into safe mode. If this works, then use msconfig to add services and settings until the problem reoccurs. Maybe you can identify the culprit that way.

Hi, I have tried going into safemode and safemode with command prompt and still the machines stays in a loop and can't get any further
and starting from last good configuration and still the same problem, all the machines are virus checked with sophos and daily updates.
Thanks for the Automatic Restart one will try that Monday and see if that gives me a clue.
I will return.

Sounds alot like the Sasser Worm.
This worm may cause LSASS.EXE to stop responding, which forces the operating system to shut down after 60 seconds.

All the pc's have been scanned fully and have virus updates daily all seem clean.
Unless someone is downloading from the internet I don’t think it will be this????
We don’t have sp2 but up to that have installed security updates.
This only has occurred in one room and we have four one with identical pc’s.
I have now turned off the automatic restart to see if this gives me a clue.
