Hi,

I was trying to play a game and when said game started up my computer froze and eventually rebooted. However, it would only go into Safe Mode. Normal Mode just fails to boot and the computer goes into Safe Mode. Tried System Restore but doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank You,


What game? What video card? What computer specs? Recent history of the computer? Desktop or laptop? These are just a few of the things people need to know in order to help you. Please see these links for what details you need to include in your next post in order to get focused help:
