How to solve PC Restarting Problem at Boot

How frustrating it would be if your computer keeps restarting whenever you try to turn on the PC? You are in a hurry but you can’t use the PC. You can dial a remote PC repair company or try to resolve the problem on your own. Let’s discuss how to solve PC restarting problem at boot.


There could be a few reasons for which the PC keeps restarting continuously. The main problem might be that the registry has become corrupted. If an application is trying to write something in the registry and that is not happening properly due to certain reason then this happens.

So what do we do to stop it? Restart the pc and keep tapping F8 on your keyboard as soon as you see the initial beep screen or the OEM logo. This will take you to a windows advanced boot options menu. Here you need to choose Last Known Boot Configuration and hit Enter. This should resolve the issue. If the problem persists, you need to get ready for more troubleshooting.

The first thing now would be to run a system file checker using the command sfc scannow. In case this doesn’t work then run a windows repair using the OS CD. Well if that also doesn’t solve the issue which in fact it should then it’s the ultimate step.

  • Click Start
  • Settings (Skip on Windows XP)
  • Control Panel
  • System (May need to click "Switch to classic")
  • Advanced Tab
  • Press Settings button
  • Uncheck "Automatically restart"
This will prevent Windows from restarting even when it encounters an error during the bootup process. For further compute service, consult a tech support expert.

Tips to Format a Hard Drive in Mac OS X

Are you using MAC OS X and wondering how to format a hard disk? It is a known fact that all the new hard drives need to be formatted before using. Like Windows XP, formatting a hard drive on a Macintosh computer is also quite simple and easy.

Let’s have a look at the following tips to format a hard drive in MAC OS X.

  • Open the system drive and go to Open Applications, then go to Utilities. Here you need to double click the "Disk Utility" program. You will get a window showing a list of all the drives that are currently mounted on the particular computer.
  • Then you need to select the particular disk that needs to be formatted. Technically you cannot format the startup disk until and unless the computer has booted from the Install Disk. You should also keep one thing in mind that if you format the startup disk, all data stored on the disk will be permanently erased.
  • Now you need to click on the "Erase" tab to the right of the list of drives.
  • A new window will now display the options for erasing the hard drive.
  • Choose the Volume Format from the pop-up list.
  • You also need to name the hard drive.
  • Click the erase button.
  • You will see a window which will ask you to verify the erase procedure.
  • Click the erase button to start the erasing process.
  • As the process is over, the drive will be shown with the name (that you have given) on the left side of the window with the list of drives. You can also see them on the desktop of the Macintosh computer as well.
For further Apple MAC Support, you can consult a remote PC repair company.
