G1Sn- Self Restart Automatically

My Asus G1Sn at startup it automatically restarts and theres nothing to do about it, I try to do anything but it doesnt load, just reboots quickly... This happened after I turned off my computer when It was installing updates 1 - 10, it said to not turn off, but I had to go. Im guessing this is some retarded vista problem because whenever I turn off my computer when Installing updates at pc shutdown, it would be fine and it has XP, it would just ask again later. Please Help me!

 

When did this start happening? Is the notebook really hot? Are there any error messages or blue screens of death? how long does it take to happen when you boot up?

From your current description it can be just about anything from hardware problems, drivers, vista problem or some application bug. You need to be more descriptive of your problem because "restarting" could mean a number of things; like Vista restarting itself with proper shutdown, BSOD then reboot, Vista boot error, Black screen sudden restarts etc.

 

Simply it turns on normally like always. No errors or any crap like that. It's like a cycle. It justs keeps re-booting and re-booting nonstop. I try to like open Firefox, there's not enough time because 10 seconds later and it simply restarts the whole computer meaning it turns off normally and turns back on like a normal Restart. This happened today couple hours ago. Notebook is not hot.

 

A-ha. You did give useful info, even though not explicitly. It was important to determine if this was a hardware or software problem.

If you say "my computer just reboots" it could mean that it reboots at the POST screen (e.g., ASUS splashscreen) without ever reaching Vista. That would mean hardware problems.

What you have are however software problems. I would suggest:

Reboot, press F8 at the Vista splashscreen, select "Last Good Known Configuration".

If that doesn't do it, reboot into Safe Mode, and do a system restore to a point before the last updates.

Also, you shouldn't reboot while installing updates. The fact that it didn't break your XP is just a lucky coincidence, you simply didn't restart during critical updates. The Vista update that was being installed when you rebooted just happened to change some critical system files and/or settings, which are now in an inconsistent state. Therefore, Vista is broken.

Try the solutions above and get back to us.

 

This bears repeating. It's always a bad idea to shutdown the computer when it's in the middle of updating. For example, if you were getting Vista SP1 and stopped it in the middle of that your system now has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. I would add, don't start downloading and installing updates if you don't have time to spare to let them fully complete.

 

It is not some retarded Vista problem. You turned your computer off while it was updating. It even said not to turn it off. You probably borked your Vista install by turning it off during the update. You could try putting your Vista DVD in the drive and booting off of that to do a repair of the OS. There is an option that fixes problems that prevent Vista from booting. You could also try a repair install of Vista. DO NOT TURN IT OFF DURING THE REPAIR INSTALL.

Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure that over 99% of computer problems are caused by uninformed/careless consumers. The other 1% is due to OS/software/hardware errors.

 

Man, I'm reading but not reading. LOL

Like the guys have said above, you failed to follow direction when Vista was updating, and Vista could be broken at this point. Take E.B.E's suggest of a system restore or last known config, however I have little faith that it would work.

You may need to do a complete system recovery to fix vista, and that would mean losing all your files and applications.

 

It is a retarded vista problem, because on XP I turned off my computer during updates alot of times, it just asked me to install the updates again.

 

Did you read my first post on this thread? It doesn't seem so...

 

I just reinstalled vista and the problem went away, so yea its a vista problem...

 

You didn't read E.B.E's message. It's not a vista problem, the problem was you. You should not have shutdown the computer when it was installing updates, it clearly told you not to. So don't blame Vista.

 

I think we're wasting our breath here, ZeroReality clearly is not willing to read the advice he (or she) requested.

But just in case:
Of course if you reinstalled Vista the problem went away, because any traces of the problem were blown to smithereens by the partition being wiped and Vista installed again.

 

LOL!!! I couldn't help but laugh at that statement.

 

I would not judge him so harsh. After all he had enough of brains to re-install OS without explicit advice.

I stole it from a Daredevil comic book. Never had an opportunity to use it before.
