System resets after login...

[Netherbeast]

Once i login, about 5sec. after it will reset.
Anyone experience this before?
I did hardware checks and also booted up into safe mode and in safe mode there is no problems.

Seems like a start up program is triggering the start up but I dont know how to check what is being started at windows. Is it msconfig time???

Background would be useful (is this new machine/old machine which used to work, now does this? etc)

If safe mode ok, then it may be a driver problem - have a look in event viewer (run eventvwr.msc) in safe mode. If you've got a copy of XP's msconfig on the machine, then yes check what's starting (2k doesn't have msconfig). Otherwise -

Did you add/remove any hardware/software just before this started?

A virus maybe? Nachi?
