Re: New install problems



it is also possible that windows is trying to start to complete the install
and then a sort of BSOD occurs and windows by default is set to reboot on
critical error. Try this:

next time it boots, just prior to it starting the setup again, press f8 of
and on till you get a menu, choose safe mode and then you will hopefully get
into safe mode, then go to properties of my computer or system in control
panel. Choose tab for Advanced, then go to startup and recovery and uncheck
the box, reboot on fatal error. Then restart machine and watch it to see if
it actually blue screens instead of restarting, this way you can post the
details of the blue screen.

thx
