Computer wont stop restarting?

Question

All of my problems started with this computer when I installed Zone Alarm Internet Security. It ran for about a week then crashed my computer. Now the computer will boot up, but wont get through the boot up process before it restarts. I have done everything I can think of. I removed Zone Alarm (and any other unneeded programs), defragged, restored to a date before installed ZA, etc, etc. Is my memory to low? (256 RAM). Is there anything else I can do besides a complete restore?

Answer 1

search the registry for any Zone Alarm keys and clean it.....

You can also repair your OS, instead of re-nstalling it.

If you have partitions, and ur data is in a partition other than that in which ur os is loaded, you can format the drive in which your OS was there and go on to install a fresh copy(recommended as u might not know if the 3-rd party software leaves any component after uninstall. The component might be a trojan, a hard disk crasher, a spyware, and anything)

And surely a problem in the RAM will give you a continuous beeeee sound, and a system halt before it gets into the boot process.

Answer 2

Seems that your some legimate application has been damage. Actually, You probably won't notice a need to fix any registry problems if your system is new, but over time, your system's registry will become larger and larger, especially as software, drivers, and hardware components are added and removed from your computer. With so many additions and deletions, your Windows registry can become corrupted or filled with errors and empty destinations, and the need for you to fix registry problems would be paramount before they start to get worse.

Therefore, If you don't fix registry problems when they arise, you may find yourself faced with unpredictable system infected, Shutdown/Restart problem, or even degradation in System speed. Fixing registry issues and preventing system should be a primary concern when you use your PC.

There are some viruses are not harmful alone but it will if you installed some security or anti virus programs (the new antivirus will check your computer first and then will installed)
I think you had some thing like that
Formatting the computer is always good in thees situations

Answer 4

Sounds like you should just reinstall windows, buy you could try using another ram chip if you have one and see if that will work, I had this problem before, I cant remember exactly how I fixed it, I know I have taken out a ram chip before and it fixed the problem because the chip was a different brand then the other chips.

Answer 5

Yes their is my friend. If you have you windows xp cd put it in restart your computer make sure you have it set to try and bot from cd first. Then let it load windows set up and choose repair my windows installation. This will then delete the current system files windows uses etc. Then re adds them, this way you won't lose any files or settings everyhing remains the same.

Answer 6

Run your computer in safe mode then get another antivirus like AVG free and check for viruses that might be doing this. Sorry but I can´t think of anything else right now if I do Ill post later.

Your memory is OK. If you have a back up disc then back up all you files and try formatting the hard disc. And then re install the OS
