Question boot loop in vista
while working on my computer it logged off and then restarted itself in a continuous loop. I had to get a tech out to fix the problem who found a virus. Is there anyway I could check this problem myself, find the cause and fix it to avoid having to call a tech again the next time? I use AVG virus protection, seemed to be working, but this one got past somehow.

Thanks,
fla63

Possibly if you have a Vista Installation DVD and/or can boot into Safe Mode. If it happens again, post here and we will run through some checks with you.
