briandowling69 Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Recently my computer began to shut down as requested and then restart constantly! This would continue even after I used the 'Force' option. Now I can only switch off by disconnecting the power! I have run mawb and Free windows registry repair, should I try using a restore point?

Plastic Nev Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Hi, If you know the way through to system restore, and can select a restore point that is previous to when the problem started, I would certainly give it a try. That will at least rule out any recent software changes as being the cause. If not sure how to get to system restore in Windows 7 let us know. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems?

Plastic Nev Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Just to add, I see you used a registry repair program, these programs are next to useless, and by removing registry items can do damage, we never recommend them for that reason. A system restore will hopefully recover registry damage if any has occurred. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help. Register here.

KenB Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 You can also try "Last Known Good Configuration" from the Advanced Startup Options. When it re-boots or after you switch on ........constantly tap F8 about once per second. You will get the list of options.

briandowling69 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 Hi KenB, Thanks for your reply. I have gone down the restore point road and at the moment it seems to be working. However I will certainly use "Last Known Good Configuration" if the problem recurs. Brian. Quote
