bluescreen during boot and reboot.

[karmic]

and reboot, and reboot...

This problem is driving me nuts. I have a system running windows 2000 with sp3. The complaint before everything went kapoot was that the system locked up, and she had to power off.

Now when the system is booted, it bluescreens immediately following the windows 2000 splash screen. the bluescreen doesn't stay long enough to see what it is (reboots immediately at the BSOD)

Figured hard drive... ghosted to a new 40 gig, same thing.
ghost complained about a few bad blocks but only a few.
Other stop error maybe? replaced ALL hardware and tried a system repair. Same result.
Popped into the repair console and ran chkdsk, everythings reported ok.


Running fat32, so I did a full virus scan (corporate 8.1) on my 98 box and found the autoupder trojan. removed the files. Tried the system repair again, same result. This is driving me insane. I know it's software related but I am stumped.

Problem is, there are programs running on this machine that cannot be replaced. It's old lucent software for the telephone system and I seriously need this drive to remain. She gets her drive replaced once a year wether it needs to be or not.


Any ideas? Thanks

Starting to format and reinstall, getting too late to keep messing with it... if anybody is interested, here's a link that may help you out.

Has to do with continual rebooting with BSOD. Didn't help me however.

I had the same thing - i got a BSOD&Reboot loop.

The error had soemthing to do with a core area of the registry being missing if i remember correctly.

My only recourse was to reinstall - I lost all email over 10 days old, which was my most important info on the drive.
