Hi phatheadrowl,

I see you have a boot issue with your Dell Laptop.

As soon as you see the Black screen before the Dell Logo keep on Tapping f8 then a list will show up select Last known good configuration First, if this does not work follow the below proceeds.

since it is rebooting on its own, we can go an boot into safe mode, to do that once the system is rebooting and you se the dell Logo on the screen keep on tapping F8 a list will show up and we need to select "Safe Mode" , once in Safe Mode it will be windows but all drivers are disable on that point and the video will be different so do not worry, once we are in Safe Mode click on Start, then click on Accessories, click on system tools, then look for system restore then perform a restore on the system to a date when it was working fine or not rebooting on its own on the issue.

And if you have a Windows disc that came with your Dell you run the Recovery Environment and do a Fixboot but if you do not have the Windows Disc Fixboot will not work without a Disc.

I hope this helps.

If you have the Disc please send me a message so I can provide you detail on how to perform Fixboot / fixmbr

Xp boot loop

hmm that sounds a bit hectic but here is what you need to try out. It might work out for you. Get an external CD drive and boot your XP from it. (Make sure the BIOS is configured to boot from the removable CD Drive), the CD must boot from the External CD drive. If you succeed at this point then you are good to go, that means you can go ahead and format( wipe and reload) But if you do not get through that part, then I suggest you need to remove your hard drive and install another operating system using a different computer, your computer's motherboard could be a problem if all of the above options dont work out

What do i do when my emachines laptop loops the title screen

Is it on a boot loop ?
Check to see if there are any keys stuck/depressed. If so, use a paperclip and fit it underneath the key and gently pry the end that is stuck. Make sure the laptop is off before attempting this. Observe where the boot process ends and starts over. In most cases, this will give an indication where the problem occurs. If the laptop reboots early on in the process, for example when it is detecting the hard drive, chances are good it is a hardware issue. If the reboot occurs further along in the process, like when it is loading operating system files, there may be an issue with operating system software. Boot in safe mode or the operating system equivalent. Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac operating system have a mode that will load the minimum software needed to boot. This is a standard approach in troubleshooting, as it only supports the minimum hardware needed to complete the boot into the operating system. Once you are logged into the computer, device drivers can be updated, software removed and so forth. To boot into safe mode in Windows, hit the "F8" key when the computer first starts up to get a submenu. From there select a boot option. Many choose "Safe mode with command prompt" as this will go line by line through the boot process, allowing you to isolate where the problem might be. To boot into a different run level in Unix/Linux, it depends on the version of Unix/Linux, but most have the option of a "recovery mode." During boot hit the "Esc" or "E" key and select the mode appropriate such as "drop to root shell," etc. If you have the ability to get into command shell, enter into run level 1 (single user mode) by typing in "init 1." To start in safe boot on a Macintosh laptop, hold the "Shift" key as it boots up. This forces a disk check and loads minimal software in efforts to complete the boot process, much like the other operating system's "safe modes." Check to see if your laptop is overheating. Laptops have a greater likelihood of overheating than desktops. Either touch the laptop or download an application such as Mobile Meter to check laptop temperature. If it is running hot, try using canned air to clear out of vents, etc. Also, elevating the laptop off of its resting surface allows greater airflow in and out of the laptop

My computer keeps rebooting

Does it Boot or is it stuck in a boot loop cycle? Have you done ANY hardware or software, new OS?, updates/upgrades lately? Memory? Put in a new CMOS battery. Try reseating Memory Mods. Are the Fans, heatsink, vents clean? Open the BIOS setup, check Clock, set if necessary, Disable Auto Reboot. Remove ALL Media DVD,CD,USB devices, Printer cable, ect., Will it boot to Safe Mode? Take a look : http://searchenterprisedesktop.techtarget.com/Steps-for-solving-the-reboot-loop-problem May be a bad HDD? Remove and test, replace if necessary.
