Computer hangs, reboot, can only start in safe mode
Original title:-i can only start in safe mode
Ive tried to use several restore points but when I try to reboot the computer freezes and I have to start in safe mode
Safe mode is a mode where Windows works only the bare minimum programs and processes necessary to the performance of your system. When you start in Normal mode, many more processes and applications running. At least one of these programs or process causes your computer to crash. If your task is to identify this program/process and, at least temporarily, to prevent it from running at startup. Microsoft has a tool that you can use to selectively disable or or the process that normally run at startup called "msconfig". It can be a long and exhausting iterative process of turning things off and restart to see if it you fixed program, but that's what you do:
"How to solve configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310560/en-us >
First, disable all items "start-up". If it does not, set it to 'Services '. If this does not work, then reactivate some of them and try again until you zero - in on the culprit.

I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode
I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?
Hello
· You get the error message?
· What happens when you try to start in normal mode?
Method 1
Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.
This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:
(a) minimal
(b) network
(c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell)
For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems
RESOLUTION
(a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG
(b) click the Boot.ini tab
(c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems]
(d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT
(e) click OK
(f) restart Windows
The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.
Method 2:
If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.
Step 1: You try to run the system restore from safe mode that will repair return the computer to the point while it was working fine.

Blue screen on startup of windows normal and safe mode
I am using Windows XP, this morning my computer froze and I used the button to turn it off. At startup, I got a blue screen that says "a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer. It's for me this blue screen with the same message for each option, including the mode without boot failure. Anyone know anyway I can try to understand what is the problem?

Anti virus is Mcafee
Blue screen started after a frost, and I used the power button to turn off.I use a Dell XPS M1730 (laptop). I don't have my windows with my disks.
I'm sure it's a virus because just before freeze Mcafee said it found and removed two Trojan horses, but I have no idea how to get rid of them with a blue screen to come whenever I try to turn on the computer.

I bought my laptop at an authorized dealer with a genuine version of windows 7 one year back. I could update normally. for a few days now when I connect my turn to the internet and try to download an update message is coming that someone else has same IP in this network, contact the network administrator.
Please help me.
Dr. bora
It seems you are using internet from a local network.
You can ask the network administrator to give you a new IP address.
If you do not use internet from a local network, you can probably call your Internet service provider and they will help you.
There is nothing wrong with your computer.

It is a toshiba satelliteL505D-Ls5001
When you perform a factory restore then all passwords are cleared and you are prompted for an account name (that you choose) and his password.
If you are prompted for a password to an existing account, then you don't have a factory restore. Maybe you did a Windows restore to a Restore Point, in which case the password is the one that was current when the Restore Point was created.
If you can get in Mode safe under an admin account you can reset any desired password.

I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. How can this be corrected?
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

I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I was on the internet when my computer screen turned blue and a message told me that a problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down. He said that I had tried to do something with memory executable not executable (I don't have a note of the code). He said as he poured out memory. Now, whenever I start, the blue screen of death gives me different messages and different error codes. Today, he says:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
and codes of error STOP: 0x0000000A (0x0000001B, 0 x 00000600, 0x810A90B0, 0x00000001).
PC World say that they need to reinstall Windows, but I have some really really important files on there that I have not supported (I know, really stupid on my part) and they said they cannot guarantee their recovery. Is there another way to fix it?
I've been on the forums and suggestions involve me to be able to connect to my computer. Blue screen hits me before I can log on, and there is no prompt to start in safe mode.
Thank you very much!
Try this to save your data:
Data recovery:
1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.
2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.
3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:
http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html
Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
Download the Vista software from the link above.
After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.
Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.
Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.
Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.
When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.
Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.
Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).
Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.
See you soon.

Computer stops with a blue screen with error fatal when the iPhone is connected
I know it may not related to windows but I have tried other sites on this issue. My computer stops and a blue screen appears with the message saying fatal error when the iPhone is connected. I tried with or without iTunes installed.
First without iTunes installed, windows will be asked to USB drivers for the iPhone, but I couldn't find anything on the Apple Web sites if I click No., a message appeared, saying that it might not work properly because he could not recognize my device. Second, I have the latest version of iTunes installed, windows began to recognize my iPhone but stop immediately after that with a blue screen fatal error and messeage saying updating the BIOS. Updated the BIOS of the computer, but nothing helped.
My computer runs on Windows XP Home Edition SP3, processor Intel Core Duo 1'66 GHz, 2 GB Ram, Intel GMA 950, Intel 945 GM chipset.
I thought that it requires no USB driver for iPhone on Windows or same iTunes unless I wanted to use it for synchronization or characteristics. Please forgive me if I'm wrong, because I tried it on other computers and it had no problem with the USB drivers and Windows can install by itself.
Thank you.
Hi 1980ckc,
1. have you tried to connect the iPhone to a different USB port?
You can check out the apple support link and check if it hleps:
