Just completed an automatic upgrade of Windows Vista, and the machin
won't stop automatically restarting and rebooting. It happens s
quickly I can't even logon sometimes. Even if I do logon I can't ope
anything to make any changes before the machine logs me off and shut
down. I've tried hitting F1 upon restart and starting in all the saf
modes - still reboots. I scanned the memory - no apparent problems bu
I can't look at the results upon restart because it restarts to
quickly. Also tried disabling the automatic restart upon error, but i
still reboots. Any ideas? - I'm at the end of my rope

If it's rebooting that quickly I'd be looking into possible hardware
failures.

Anything that happens before the Loading Windows screen, such as F1 into
BIOS setup, has nothing to do with Windows. If the computer is rebooting
that early you have a hardware problem. Other than that, boot the computer
as far as the Safe Modes selection menu and pick System Restore instead of
booting into Windows. Restore to a point before that batch of updates. If
system restore doesn't work try using Last Known Good configuration from
that same menu. When you do the updates again try installing them one at a
time.
