ESXi reboot loop after the screen "Loading ISO VMware"

Machine: 4 GB of RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz, SATA 2 drive 1 TB WD RE3 RAID 0.  NO SCSI

Can someone tell me why I'm stuck in this cycle of continuous reboot?  I put the CD ISO, waiting for the "ISO VMware loading" (photo attached) bar to go to the screen and then some weird cahracters appears at the end of the bar for nonosecond and BAM a reboot. It's happening so fast that I had to capture with a video/phone and frame-by-frame through it to see what the message says.

If I remove the CDduring post, the machine tried to start on the HDs, and since there is nothing on them, I get an error.  I reinstall the CD rom, re-booting, and bar "Loading VMware ISO" to restart the cycle continues.

I removed all the features RAID and tried to install it on a SATA drive - same thing.  I even installed an IDE drive and once again, no joy.

Any help is very appreciated.  Thank you!

1st guess - controller/s in your machine are not compatible, I had the same thing on a Board Abit old. Did you check the HCL & http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/Hardware_support.php

  • Problem in reboot loop after updates.

    I have windows XP on an Asus A8V-E-SE motherboard has developed a problem in reboot loop after updates.  It will not go in safe mode either.  Stop at a display of the driver.  I used the recovery console using the XP cd and you can see the update directories in the systemroot folder.  I followed the instructions in the forum to uninstall every update by accessing commands back to the subdirectory spuninst update and then run "Batch spuninst.txt.  I get a bunch of 'access denied' messages for each of them (varies in amount of "access denied" messages by everyone but consistent for each.)  It's not like the batch uninstall for the update does not work.  I tried to uninstall all updates yesterday 10/02/10 (I had 10) even with the "access denied" messages, but it still will not initialize properly.  No way to move the access denied message?

  • Reboot loop after integrated at startup

    I searched for nearly two hours on the net looking for a way to solve this problem and I did not find anything, so I hope that if I post my own situation, I'll help.

    My laptop was not entitled to the left, so I plugged in the charger before turning on. While she has been commissioning, more precisely on the loading screen (you know, the green/yellow bar with "Microsoft collaboration" or something like that below), I accidentally pulled the charger out and it is turned off. Replace, it works again and I received a message (I'm sorry I don't remember the message itself, I don't have a lot of attention at the time) it gave me two options, I could either start windows normally or repair the system. I chose the system repair because I thought I could have damaged the phone somehow. So he asked me to do a system restore and I did it, it was restarted, loaded all the way to the Office and just as I was about to go about my business, a blue screen with white flashed writing for a fraction of a second (I couldn't read at all) and it restarts again.

    This time, he gave me a new black screen sent me three Mode options safe mode (Safe Mode, with networking SM, SM with command Menu), and then start windows normally. I started windows normally and it happened all over again.

    Now, I'm in Mode safe mode with networking. Everything works perfectly well in Mode safe.

    I have no CD or whatever this is supplied with the laptop, as it was given to me by a person around a year ago.

    I tried to access the Mode safe via the F8 option as well, just to see if something would be no different, but that didn't work either.

    Anyone know how I can go about fixing myself? ANY help apreciated if you really! :)

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Crash of Windows Vista after the SCREEN of HOME Toshiba

    Greetings,

    My father work laptop, a Toshiba Satellite L300D, running on Windows Vista, seems to have fallen, and it is promised (because he recently ordered a new laptop) that if I fix it it gives me.

    The problem is that as soon as the laptop turns on, after the start of toshiba, but before the vista screen start loading screen, the system stops and everything is white '_' in the top left corner that flashes and disappears, leaving me with an empty black screen. I tried all below, in vain.

    • Press F8, no matter how long, when and how many times, seems to have no effect. After pressing it enough times, the laptop starts beeping for a second every time I press another key.
    • Removing the battery and pressing the power button for 60 seconds seem to have no use either.
    • The recovery disks do not work. After that they load, the screen empty boring, with the small '_' rises again.

    Please note that before any loading screen, it crashes. I tried going in the system (by pressing F2) Setup and see if there is a way of fixing it. I don't see a possible solution.

    Help, please!

  • Computer does not start after the screen of the bios, Compaq Presario SR1023WM

    Ok. Trying to fix a friend's computer and seem to have met a strange barrier.

    Problem: The computer does not start after the bios screen.

    Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well.  And that's it as far as the computer becomes.  After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect.  I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point.  I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected.  Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success.  I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well...  Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).

    The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.

    I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.

    I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.

    If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.

    Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.

    At the back of the pc is the condition of the PSU led green or flashing?
