Re: [LUG] Computer constant reboots

 

Hi All,

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me with this issue today, I have taken the machine apart to see if anything obvious is wrong with it and I cant seem to see anything bearing in mind this is an all in one PC.

I think the disc that I used maybe bad as it has a few scratches here and there so will dig out the other one and have another go later this week.

Thanks again

Dan

Beginning to think that this probably warranted a big fat [OT] as it's
essentially a Windows Vista installation question on a Linux mailing list?

There are a *lot* of things that could be going wrong here, not limited
to just everything else already suggested here but a whole bunch of
other things as well, especially now it's clear you're reinstalling
Vista. How? Are you using the manufacturer supplied restore media or a
random Vista DVD from elsewhere? Is it the correct version (Pro vs
Enterprise vs Home etc)? Is your key compatible with the installer
version, if you've even got that far? Does your weird all-in-one PC
require special drivers slipstreamed in to the installer?

You need to some more experimenting first, there's no realistic way we
can help you here as you're still in the initial stages of diagnosis
really.

Regards
