System intermittently rebooting at startup and constantly with F8 option!

by matthew.leggett . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

Hello everyone! I’ve been having this problem with my PC for pretty much its entire life. When i start up the PC each morning, the POST screen does its checks OK, proceeds to check my stripped RAID (HEALTHY) and then checks for all other devices OK. Now the IRQ table is displayed, boot from CD passes, now the screen goes black… Sometimes the vista splash screen comes up and all is OK, but often the system restarts. It generally only does this once or twice before loading into windows sucessfully. – This i can deal with.

Now i have had a recent problem, which i have solved, but i had intended to use safe mode, now when i press F8 any number of times, must have attempted ten times in a row, it causes the system to reboot at the same point!

Whats going on? I have run the startup repair off the vista DVD and says there are no problems, have also run the memory diagnostic tool to ensure it wasn’t my RAM.

A bit stuck now to be honest, any help much appreciated! Any further infor required, just ask!
