Have you ever had this happen to you? You try
to start your computer. Everything seems fine until it gets to the Windows
logo screen and then restarts again. If you let it go it will possibly go on
forever.
From my experience with repairing computers I
have found two main causes for this problem. Not saying that these are the
only answers for this problem, however these are the most common for me.

Faulty random access memory (ram)
Having faulty memory can cause a number of
symptoms including a continual restart of Windows. I have tested this
theory in a number of computers, including Acer and Dell computers. The
computers were working fine until a installed the faulty memory. As soon
as the bad memory is removed and the working memory is replaced the
computer is fine again.
The hard drive is dead
The computer will not boot or start if
there is no hard drive to go to. I repaired a computer with exactly this
problem. It loaded the windows logo screen and then kept restarting. I
first thought it was a memory problem, however it turned out to be the
hard drive. I removed the hard drive and placed it in an external case,
and still could not access it. I fitted a new hard drive to the computer
and put a Windows Xp disc in the cd drive. And away it went, formatting
and installing Windows XP. |

So next time your computer loads the Windows
Logo screen and then restarts be sure to check for these two common problems
before investigating the problem further.
Notes:
-
Hardware problems seem to be the most common
cause for a computer to continually restart.
-
If it is a software problem it can sometimes be
a bit harder to pin point the problem. After trying to repair with a Windows
cd, or trying the Windows restore feature, the final option is to format.
