He said he was playing single player. I don't play this game so not sure how the whole thing works. He said he was laying out explosives. He said he was putting them out for hours. When he blew them off the game lagged really bad. He hit the "X" to drop game. When he did this the computer shut down and restarted. In restart the black screen that you would get from hitting f8 came up (safe mode, safe mode with networking, etc.). Everytime I try to reboot it comes back to this screen. I can't do anything from that page and that page just keeps coming up. I ran a Spy Hunter program the night before so I don't think it's a virus or anything like that. I will be on my laptop tonight around 9'ish. If anyone is on ts to help or give advice I would so appreciate it. Thanks for anything you guys/gals can do. I know Jr. is feeling pretty bad about it too. I told him we have great peeps here to help out. Thank you! YellowSnow>XI<ADM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If you cannot boot into safe mode, try completely powering down the computer and unplug it for a min. or two. Then try the same mode reboot and system restore. If still no luck, you may have to run a operating system repair from the installation dick. My kids are not allowed to touch my computer due to this very thing. My daughter crashed my computer twice to the point of a complete reinstall. DEEJAYKEG, PingLo, Boomer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Check your cooling parts (CPU and GPU if it's not passive) and you power supply. It smells like an emergency shutdown. Try the system repair like snafu mentioned - if nothing works.

The last time my system was crashing in the middle of a game my cooling fans were choked with dust, and during the game the processor was getting so hot it was doing hard shut downs. Blow out the cooling fans with canned air and then do a regular shut-down from safe mode. It should re-start normally, and if it doesn't do as was suggested and do a system restore from a few days ago.

I would need to get on ts with someone to talk through this. When I boot it starts booting fine. Right before windows would come up it kicks it to the screen that would be the black screen with safe mode, etc. When I try to boot in saafe mode it does the same. Starts off ok but right before windows would come up kicks it back to black safe mode screen.. I will be on late tonight 9pm or so..Central Time... Thanks!!

If u are in a reboot loop sequence see picture and un-mark automatically restart at errors. It creates a error dump file but Ive always had this unmarked regardless of errors and never completely crashed the PC (since 2006). To the problem, my guess its OS or HDD related. If u had cpu issues windows would have problem start at all and u would hear (or not hear) certain parts in the PC isnt spinning or working, if gpu, there would be a either black screen or windows basic screen would be showing the desktop i.e very big icons and like 800x600 resolution.

I forgot this part. You may also get a blue screen if you deactivate the reboot. But yellow is not able not deactivate this as he has noch chance to logon. @@YellowSnow. If you get the chance, deactivate the reboot and post the STOP code of the blue screen here. (If you get one) @@dawgy In most cases you'll get a beep code when the RAM or the slot is defective. Not always but in most cases. A faulty RAM with some errors won't prevent the Windows startup in this way. But it's easy to test: - turn off the computer - turn off your powersupply (or unplug it if it has no switch) - press the power button on your computer for 5-10 seconds (there is a residual current) - remove all RAM sticks except if one and start your PC. Repeat this step with every stick. In the case that everything's fine out the second stick in and try to boot your PC again. And so on and so on.
