They were virtually useless, I am glad they took them down. What is your system make and model? If there is a problem booting, XP is configured to automatically try to boot again and you can get stuck in a loop of just being unable to get past the boot options screen or none of the boot options you choose will work. Sometimes when XP has a problem starting or crashes and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will seem to be the right ones to get your system going again.
You've tried them all! The options resemble the XP Advanced Boot Options menu, but the one option you need Disable automatic restart on system failure is not offered because XP has gone too far along in the boot process and offers you a limited number of boot options. If you do not see the Disable automatic restart on system failure option, you need to reset your system and start tapping the F8 key on the keyboard until you do see the Disable automatic restart on system failure option.
If you miss the F8 window of opportunity, you need to try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency sooner and more frequently until you do see Disable automatic restart on system failure, then select it.
Reactions: Scorpio CMOS battery is brand new will try turning reboot on error off in the morning if I can find it in safe mode. You should find it in BIOS, probably 'advanced' but it will take some digging. Since it seems that you have recently changed battery, did you 'reset to defaults' F9 and then redefine BIOS to match up to your system?
My motherboard failed so I fitted a new motherboard and in BIOS settings chose failsafe defaults I had had a blue screen of death using the old motherboard but when restarting PC it normally came on OK then one day the PC failed to start up but all fans including CPU one came on except the graphics card fan, I disconnected the power supply from it and shorted the start up pins then checked all voltages which seemed fine.
I removed the external graphics card as motherboard had on board graphics, I removed the ram and resseated it I put a new BIOS battery in old motherboard nothing worked. I came to the conclusion the motherboard or CPU must have died and fitted a new tested motherboard bundle which again has on board graphics. Last edited: Oct 28, I gather that there are two motherboards, an old and a new, and that neither works - or do I have that wrong? You have removed and tested HDDs and confirmed they are in working order.
You bought a new PSU, but have yet to confirm it is working properly as the installation you tried resulted in 'failed, no start' condition. No I had an Old motherboard which I think failed as it would no longer boot up even to the BIOS screen, I replaced the mother board with a new one and a new PSU which boots up but after showing the multi coloured loading bar for a few minutes I get the blue screen of death mentioned above.
If I choose to boot into safe mode the new motherboard and PSU boot correctly into windows XP but in safe mode only which restricts what I can do with PC, I was able to do a full system antivirus scan in safe nmode which is where I am currently with it.
