Constant Reboot

Hey all,

I'm not sure exactly where to post, but I been getting constant reboot after bringing my system out of suspend/hibernate or power saver mode. It just reboots like its about to post, but then goes back down. It does this over 'n over until I cut the power and kill the PSU. I did have my system OC'ed, but at the moment I'm currently running at default settings.

Has anyone exp this before? Or does anyone know if this is a hardware related issue?

Re: Constant Reboot

It may be an issue with your BIOS settings... Did you manually put them back to default or did you reset the CMOS?

Both. I did manually first, and then when it happened again, i reset the CMOS.

Then you don't have option to install any hotfix from microsoft.
Uncheck "automatically restart" under system failure.

Path: system properties > advanced system settings > advanced (TAB) > click "settings" button under "startup and recovery > and uncheck "automatically restart".

this time if it restarts automatically, you should get an error code/message on a bluescreen.

let me know the error code.

if it restarts constantly then press F8 and select "disable automatic restart" (as sson computer starts) and get the error code/message and let me know.
