PC in a cycle of restarting after power surge

Win XP SP 2
NVIDIA 8800 GTS
2 gig Ram
P5N32 SLI
Hi guys,.
I hope someone can throw me a BONE here, because I don't know which way to go with this.
Basically, power surge last night, my PC will now in a cycle of infinite when turned on reboot.
I can't start in safe mode, as it hangs on the list of files. Cannot start last well-known, cannot start from the CD, at the risk of going as far as "Checking hardware" and restart.
So, essentially I can't anything. I guess it's obvious that some hardware is fried, but I can't afford to replace things to chance - any suggestions on probable causes, or ways I can limit?
Thank you
KeV

Hi KevTM,

Method 1:

I suggest to disable automatic system error reboot and check the error message.

Prevents Windows from automatically restarting if an error of Windows to fail. Choose that this option only if Windows is stuck in a loop where Windows fails, attempts to restart, and fails again repeatedly.

To do this, follow the steps below.

To start Windows in safe mode, follow these steps:

a. click on the electric start button
b. to enter the Windows xp advanced startup option.
c. when the computer starts up press and hold your "F8 key" who should bring up the "Menu Options advances of Windows". "»
d. use your arrow to switch to "disable automatic system failure reboot" and press your enter key.

Here, you will need to check the error message or you receive an error code.

Method 2:

Try to disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard and try to start the computer and check.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    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:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    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.

    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 1st 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.

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

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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

  • Pavilion dv7 - no wireless or bluetooth after power surge?

    Hi all

    I'm trying to diagnose a failure on a Pavilion dv7-4130sa running Windows 7.

    The WiFi was working fine until yesterday afternoon when I think he cut a power surge or a very brief power. It was not enough to reset clocks or turn off the TV, cable box, etc, but I had to reset the wireless router.

    Central heating also stopped working, due to a fuse and the defective pump - but maybe it's just a coincidence.

    Now, the wireless in the system tray icon shows a red cross with Windows indicating an error message...

    Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing.

    I know this isn't the router as my phone and netbook both work more wireless. I was thinking of doing a system restore, but I was wondering that if bluetooth and wireless cards are defective, this does not solve the problem.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

  • iMac restarts after sleep

    Problems lately with my iMac 27 "5 K. After putting to sleep, it is restarts after about 2 hours.  If I wake up it before that date, it is usually very good. But after 2 hours, it restarts. Sometimes, I find it just be stopped. Most of the time when it restarts itself, it crashes with this gray bar filled about 80% progress.  I have reset the PRAM and EMS, checked all the settings in power management (not set to restart after power failure for example).

    Another problem I 'bypassed' which may or may not be related (I'm including in case it is related) is that on El Capitan, my magic trackpad would randomly wake the iMac.  I had to disable the option to allow devices BT wake up the Mac. When I upgraded to Sierra, the iMac still wake up randomly due to an event of BT. After a lot of trial and error, activate the option "allow bluetooth to computer devices" back prevented the wake-ups at random and let me wake up the computer again deliberately with the trackpad.  Very strange.

    In any case, I'm usually pretty ingenious to resolve this sort of thing myself, but the Console to Sierra news is terrible. Or maybe it's the system logs that are terrible, because I can't find anything about the causes of previous judgment that might provide a clue as to what is happening here.

    So, any advice on how to solve the problem or at least to determine the causes of the previous stop would be greatly appreciated!

  • UEFI auto turn on after power failure

    I bought a desktop computer HP Pavillion PC500-225es (have a holiday home in Spain where the suffix are).

    It is running Windows 8.1 equipped a UEFI BIOS.

    I want the PC automatically restarts when power is restored after a power failure, but I don't see any option to do this in the UEFI BIOS. Is it normal for a UEFI BIOS? I have had many computers with a BIOS for old style and that I can remember all had the ability to set the auto restart after power fail.

    I don't know how a UEFI BIOS integrates with Windows 8.1 but I see no option for this in point 8.1 of Windows either.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    In addition, because the PC was bought in Spain, the BIOS is in Spanish. It seems not be anyway to change that in English, my native language. Not a big problem I can get in Spanish and may apply to the Google translate if I have to, but it would be easier if there was an option to switch to English.

    I ran the HP Support Assistant, and everything is up-to-date, there is no update to download BIOS.

    I guess I'm just stuck with the situation unless HP come with an update of the BIOS to add installation.

    Please see the BIOS for the motherboard Jasmine settings the settings you are looking for. Although this document is intended for the 'Jasmine' motherboard and your computer uses the "JasmineR', the settings should be similar if not the same thing.

    To access the BIOS Setup page... "Turn on the computer and immediately press the F10 key repeatedly, once per second, until the opening of the Computer Configuration utility."

    The following options are found in the Power Options:

    Messages POST (Power On Self Test) Turn on or off
    After the loss of power Previous state, or disable
    POSITION of delay (in seconds) Zero, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 60 seconds
