computer loads up then restarts

My computer turns on perfectly to the logon screen...then when i log on it shows my desktop background but no toolbar or icons...then restarts and does the same thing...what should i do

 

The problem could be quite a few things. Spyware, virus or corruption.

Boot into Safe Mode (press F8 repeatedly until you see a screen that asks you how you want to start Windows).

IF you can get into Safe Mode, Go to Start > Run. Then type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Write down what is listed on the Startup tab. Post the results. While in Safe Mode, run your anti-virus program (do a full system scan). Also, if you have anti-spyware run those before trying anything else. Next run System File Checker. Go to Start > Run type "sfc /scannow" (again, without the quotes) Have your Windows CD handy as it will ask for it. When all of the above is completed, reboot. Post your results.

 

if not, have send your mobo in for a rma service, just in case theres something wrong with the board or bios....

 

when i was new to the internet i had this problem and when it got stable i found out there was like over 300 trojans and viruses that just built up lol but as dejahboi said it could also be your board or something inside

 

i wonder what were you looking up LOL

 

i wasn't looking up anything but i wasn't very advanced and didn't know what sort of protection to use i had some crap products so everytime i was connected to the internet i was being infected are you trying to say i was looking at porn??? lol

 

well i didnt imply it, but what ever you say....LOL

 

Well if you come to a screen with no icons and desktop...Its an OS issue....if you have the XP cd then try recovery console....chkdsk /r..there is a space after chkdsk...when the computer asks you for an admin password just hit enter....this could repair the OS....if this does not work you might have to try OS reinstallation

 

I recommend you to try to uninstall some programs that seem to be bootin up while its at the desktop...perhaps some antivirus software, software having to do with some hardware.... i think yoiu might have a bad RAM, but other than that, you can freshly install a new OS

 

Restart and go into safe mode and

click on start-->run
type "mscongif"
then click on the startup tab and unselect some program and see if that fixes the problem.

 

"msconfig"

 

opps, sorry, mispelled.

 

boot to safe mode pressing F8 and choose administrator and remove any recently install programs then reboot in normal boot.
