If you can access the motherboard (beneath the keyboard) check that all
components are firmly in place - e.g. RAM, Hard drive cable etc
This forum shows a posting from a user with the same issue (laptop restarts
after log on and gets caught in endless loop):
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...m/1082342.html. The
solution suggested is a Repair Install of Vista from the DVD (but in your
case it might be from the hidden partition with the install files if a
repair install can be done - it might be only a 'factory restore' - return
to factory condition in which case you might need some way of
retrieving/backing up data files first).
FYI , the F8 start up options usually include:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Normal Start Up
Last known good configuration
etc....
If may be your father is right - it could be a hardware issue (faulty memory
or something similar).
Can you provide the complete specs of your system and the
make/model/manufacturer, and have you approached the manufacturer's support
service for help on this issue? Maybe take it to an authorised service
centre for your model/make of laptop.
Hope this assists you.
