Re: MCE automatically reboots on start up

I had the same symptoms about 6 months ago. It was the memory. I took one
stick out, and it worked fine (I replaced it and haven't had the problem
since).

I'd get a CD with a memory checker on it, and run that to test your memory.
Try one of these:-

Memtest - http://www.memtest.org/
Windows Memory Diagnostic - http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

Not sure what the error means, but it seems like you have a hardware problem
still. If you are sure that everything is reconnected correctly for the MB
(including the RAM being seated firmly). Try removing all non-essential
hardware (like separate sound card, modem, NIC, etc.) before booting from
the CD and running recover. If everything is on the MB, not much you can do.

Also, if you have more than on stick of RAM, try using only one at a time,
and try swapping them to rule out a bad stick of RAM.

Thanks Jamie. I didn't get a disk with the MB. I tried booting in safe
mode
per Jesse's post, but it reboots in that mode as well. I tried using the
recovery disk and got a few different behaviors with the latest giving me
a
blue screen with the following message:

Stop: c00021a {fatal system error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a
status of 0xc00001d (0x00000000 0x000000000)
The system has been shut down.

Does this mean anything to you?

thx

In theory, if it's the same MB, you shouldn't have any driver issues, it
should work. However, maybe the MB has some changes and needs different
drivers installed. Did you get a disk of drivers with the new MB?

I forgot to ask earlier, can you start in the Safe Mode? Press F8 while
it's
booting and you should get a menu with startup choices. If you can and
you
have a drivers/setup disk that came with the replacement MB, you might be
able load the new drivers and take care of the problem.

Reinstalling off the recovery disks seems like it would just put the same
OS/drivers that you have now, I'm not sure if that would help. Might be
worth a try, but you probably will loose anything on the drive, I think
the
e-machine recovery typically wipes everything back to an out of the box
condition.

Yes, it is exactly the same one as was in there before. Bought it from
emachines. Have not reinstalled the OS. But now that you mentioned
that,
i
have recovery discs, should I just boot off of those and reinstall the
OS?

If not, have you reinstalled MCE with the new MB?

hi,

I have an emachines MCE that is about 18 months old. The
motherboard
went
on it, so I replaced it with a new one from the manufacturer. The
computer
now boots, but when it gets to the Widows Welcome screen it
automatically
restarts. It is now in a restart loop! Anyone have any suggestions
on
how
to fix this?
thx
