Time to take the Laptop to your local repair shop.
Or try the Safe Mode again and also Last Good known configuration.

In the boot menu (where you select safe mode, etc) do you have an entry that
says disable automatic restart? If so select it, then post back with the
Blue Screen error message.

Did you plug your iPhone in at the right place? Sounds like you were
running on battery power and plugged it into the power jack & fried the darn
thing.

Hi!

> it just keeps restarting itself

You have now learned an unfortunate lesson about a choice that Microsoft
enabled by default in Windows 2000, XP and Vista...by default, Windows has
so-called write caching enabled. This means that anything written to disk
may not actually be written to the disk until some later time.

If your computer crashes, or the disk decides that it can't really write the
data to disk, your computer's files and file system will be left in an
incomplete state. Yes, it does help performance...but you are *really*
playing a roulette game with your data with this option enabled.

> is there nothing i can do myself to it instead of taking to a comp shop??

In order to fix this you can do a few different things:

1. Find your Windows installation CD, put it in the computer and let the
computer start up from it. Then try running the "repair" option. Sometimes
it works, sometimes it does not. Some software may need to be reinstalled
afterwards.

2. Connect the drive to another computer and try to repair the damage by
running CHKDSK (after making a backup!) and then replacing the
missing/damaged files from a working system that was running the *exact*
same version of Windows. You may or may not be able to do this--being able
to see the blue screen would help here. I think there is an option from the
startup menu to make the computer stop when it crashes and not automatically
reboot.

3. Backup your data, wipe the drive and reinstall Windows from scratch. Then
reinstall your programs.

Whichever one you do, consider these changes as well:

Open Device Manager
Find your hard drive in the list, double click on it.
Choose the "Policies" tab and remove the checkmark from "Enable write
caching on the disk". (Oh, and note the warning that you never got to see
about computer and power failures.)

and for the automatic rebooting upon system failure "feature":

Open System Properties by right-clicking My Computer and choosing Properties
or from the Control Panel.

The system properties window appears. Click the Advanced tab.
Click the button in the Startup and Recovery category.
In the dialog box that appears, take the check mark out of the
"Automatically restart" choice.

Then, the next time the system dies, you will know exactly why and can pore
over it for as long as you like.

Good luck!
