Hi,

I recently made a trip to Texas and when I got home with my PC it would not boot back up.

I got the the point where it showed XP was loading and then it quits and the computer shuts off (by itself) and restarts.

I can run the PC in safe mode but it won't run in normal mode? Any ideas on what could be going on?

Thanks for the help...

possibility of malware was your computer left on while you were away

was there any poweroutage during the time you were gone

do you have surge protecter for your computer

do you have your xp cd put that in and do a repair

I took my computer with me and I drove from NC.

I do have the XP cds but when I put them in it only gives me an option to restore or to boot to command prompt from the CD.

The computer was working fine last friday but when I hooked it back up for the first time in a week today, it would not boot in regular mode.

I can boot in safe mode and did a virus scan and also ran my windows defender and neither found anything.

I am just truly baffled....If the computer had crashed and was dead it would not even run in safe mode, would it?

Thanks

Will I lose all my programs on my system if I do a restore off the CD?

I did do a system restore from last week's good point and it still would not boot back up.
