will not enter safe mode

[Guest Rich]

I'm having trouble accessing my safe mode. As soon as it comes to entering

my password to get into my account, the system suddenly reboots and I don't

get a chance to enter safe mode. Any way to fix this so it doesn't reboot on

me automatically? TIA

Try booting with only keyboard, mouse and monitor connected.

 

It would help to see the complete Stop Error Report.

 

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by

allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on

the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,

Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before

Automatically Restart.

 

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure. Check for variants

of the Stop Error message.

 

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select

option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

 

Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration?

What is your computer make and model? How old is it?

Hope this helps.

Re: will not enter safe mode

 

Gerry I unchecked the option you listed but its still rebooting

automatically just after it shows me a password option in my account in safe

mode. Also tried it in F8, diabled automatic restart, clicked F8 again for

safe mode, got to password and then rebooted again before i could enter my

password.

Havent tried just keyboard mouse and monitor yet. Will post results...
