Computer restart causes reset IE8.

Restarting the computer leads the Favorites (including link bar) menu to reset/reload of many Microsoft Web sites. Is this just aggressive marketing by MSFT?  How can I stop it?  I'm using XPSP3.  This just started happening a week ago.  budha45

  • Why my computer restart when im installing software?

    Every time when I tried to download any software or program my computer restarts automatically all trying to download it is 32 bit please help me thanks.

    Hi Garriez,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. you receive an error message when the computer restarts?

    3. what web browser do you use to download the software on the computer?

    4. only so happens that internet download software?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Pavilion dv6-3091eo: computer restarts randomly

    Hello!

    So, my computer started to shut itself down and random reboot sometimes freezes and hangs itself without having to restart and I have to turn it off by holding the power button.
    He started with a 0601 error in the newspaper that I changed the cmos battery and the problem seems to have stopped for awhile, I had once a 0305 error, but after that everything seemed normal until I now the random reboot and gel (I get no error code).
    After the Cmos pass I also an everynow ' 502 reset cmos ' and here, but I can always start the computer after pressing ENTER. I updated the bios to the version latest incase it was the bios and the issue is still ongoing.
    When the computer restarts it sometimes reboots with half of my ram just so I have to restart again.

    I think it could be a hard drive problem, but that's assuming only. Even if it passes the quick test, but I'll do the full test today. I can be on the computer without the main dough and only the AC adapter.  (this started to happen just after I had windows 10 don't know if it's a coincidence and I restored it to factory settings once after than to try to fix it)

    Sorry if I've included a lot of information shaped but I wanted to be accurate as possible

    Verification of the errors of the DLG tool indicates that the drive is dying, so even with a the OP goes to the factory back chances are that the issue remains, that's why I suggested to look for a replacement drive.

    I'm sorry mate... Even if you decide to continue using it I recommend you to backup all important where data to another disk or cloud.

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards
    Amal-Microsoft Support.

  • Computer restarts constantly how he stop?

    Everything was fine last night. Woke up this morning and the computer restarts continually. I am running windows xp. I can restart in safe mode but under normal reboot it keeps just reboot. I tried disk cleanup, defragmentation, System Restore (that never works) system restore.  It took hours to do a recovery, because it would only begin in the process, then it restarts but eventually be obtained throughout recovery and problem is still there. Turn off completely and let stand about an hour started it back up and the problem is still there. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    First you need to understand why it is always set to zero, then you can stop it.

    If you choose to start safe mode, you can choose to start in disable automatic restart on system failure mode so you can see what is happening.

    Here are enough details to help you move forward in the right direction:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If your system uses to work properly, what do you think might have happened to her since the last time, that it did not work properly?

    If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

  • After computer restart installed new missing programe.

    This problem causes my computer to run slowly when declaring it & close window. I installed the new software program on my computer and all software installed successfully programe have to restart the computer to run the program. But recently when I installed the new program after I restart my computer the missing program. When I click on the icon of the software on the desktop it ejects a box saying lack of icon and all of the program forced me to uninstall and reinstall it again to use it.

    Can I know how to fix this problem? Sorry for the bad English. Will be grateful if someone could help it.

    Thank you.

    Hi Nic6,

    You can first try to navigate to the folder C:\Program files and access the application and check that you are able to find the program and you can start from there. Sometimes, the shortcut to the file on the desktop may be corrupted.

    Since we do not know how the program has gone or how it was deleted, I suggest that you try to perform a system restore to the date where you were able to access the program and check to see if that help.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    d. click Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  • By using the system restore before computer restart after updating Windows 10...

    I chose to try the upgrade of Windows 10 on my laptop primary.  Because of the long installation times, I started late in the evening then followed finishing (or almost) the update the next morning.  Until I sat down to 'start' I spoke with a friend who had just completed an installation of two heavy day of problems.    Although I am good enough to solve computer OS and software installation problems, I was very reluctant to go forward.   After serious soul searching I elected continue to use Windows 7, I don't really like.

    That's why I chose to use the system restore before restarting my computer needed complete Windows Update 10.  I chose the previous restore point before the update of windows 10 and ran through the entire procedure and then restarted the computer after the restore point.

    Everything worked fine and I was able to do the foregoing... Except that I can't do updates of security that have been uninstalled.   The Windows Update screen repeat "you must restart your computer...". "with the reboot by holding the active button.

    This window doesn't go away even after reboot, and I can not "check for Updates".

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reset this program if I can do all the updates except Windows 10 security.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    By using the system restore before computer restart after updating Windows 10...

    Sorry, System Restore does not cancel the major updates, that's why a lot of automatic updates delete all system restore points. The tool that is appropriate in this case would be a restore Image. If you have not created an image before the upgrade, then you are out of luck.
