Re: Computer rebooting & not loading completely

Which PCI Slot # did you install the Firewire Card ?
(Count from Video Card (AGP/PCIe) downward -1,2..))

Most motherboards offer only two PCI slots that have an
independent IRQ ( How computer hardware gets the attention
of the processor ). Usually, but not always only slots 2/5 are
IRQ independent. You may have a IRQ sharing situation where
there is a conflict. Some hardware doesn't play well in a sharing
situation.

Any AV ( ?: McAfee/Norton ) that needs vendor help to install
needs to be returned. Buy Nod32 from ESET, you won't regret
it.

My computer is not loading completely. The blue screen appears right
before
the profiles show up and then it reboots. I have tried loading in safe
mode,
but that does not work either.

2 pieces of background info.

1. I was having problems with Anti-virus software for about a week and
have
been working with the vendor to get it reinstalled.
2. I had just installed a firewire card an hour or so before this
started.

I am at the point of using the recovery disk (and therefore wiping out the
former contents) unless I get a better suggestion.
