Re: SOS computer keeps rebooting.

IE8 isnt a critical update nor is it required. I would get a boot disk
which can be easily found on a
bing or google search.

I was watchin a movie clip on Hulu today and next thing you know my
computer
reboots. During boot up it prompted to start in safemode etc. I tried
normally and
also last known boot but it gets passed the windows splash screen it just
reboots again.

I tried using safemode but it doens't make any difference.

The last thing I installed today was windows update, ie8 and some other
"critical" patch, and an update to flash player for IE.

I am familiar with other reboot scenarious where win will keep rebooting
cause of a blue screen but I'm not seeing a blue screen. And I can't even
boot into windows to disable the automatic restart on system failure even
if that was the case. Any ideas??


This is killing me, everything has been working just fine and I even
rebooted once or so after the windows update.
