windows xp will not start up
I don't know if this is where my question goes and I don't know what I'm taking about but I'll ask anyways. I have a laptop (acer), when I was using it yesterday it turned off by itself when I turned it back on it said Sorry for the inconvenience Windows can not start properly because of new hardware or software. Then now at the bottom you could choose from safemode, start normally, start from the last know good configuration. It was something like that so I've tried a couple of them and all of them do the same thing. Windows will begin to load then a blue screen appears. I haven't been able to read what it all says because it stays up for 5 seconds then turns off, restarts by itself and does the whole thing over again. But I did catch some stuff. Something about shadowing, disable bios options, press f8, advance start up options. I have no clue what's wrong.

I had a similar prob yesterday, but my prob was to do with something called boot volume... Not even safe mode would start, so i just reinstalled windows xp.

If you can get it to run in safe mode, go to system\advanced\startup and recovery\Settings. Uncheck "automatically restart". This will allow you to see the presented info.
Check your bios settings too. Try the default safe settings to see what happens. I think the bios may have been reset due to loss of backup power or a glitch.
