JS Thread Starter. Joined Aug 30, Messages 3. I installed Windows Vista Ultimate edition X86 edition two days ago and everything was up and running perfect with no problems. I installed the windows updates and then shut it down.

I woke up the next morning and started the computer and now. My computer restarts continuously right before the splash screen and I can't get into safe mode.

I tried pressing f8 and going to safe mode or the last known good config, but the computer just restarts all over again. When I put in the windows vista disc, and try to run repair vista installation it just stops a few seconds later and says that I have recently unpluged a device like a camera or some bs.

I went to system restore and restored to a previous point and still the contiously rebooting. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem? Joined Apr 30, Messages It could be a hardware issue. I tired the memory checker thats on the vista disc and everything is ok ram wise.

Yesterday I unpluged every device in my computer besides the monitor and power cord and it boot up. Then after it actually boot up I pluged my keyboard and internet back in and used it a bit thinking there isnt a problem anymore. I shut it down last night, now the same thing is happening agian but this time even upluging all the devices still wont enable me to boot up.
