Another Win 7 RC reboot deal

Cobracon · 3 Weeks Ago

I kinda' sorta' have (HAD) a similar problem to WDriesen's ( http://www.pchelpforum.com/windows-v...tml#post425578 ) from the standpoint of random reboots. The difference is that my problem began right after installing the October updates last week. I performed a System Restore but this accomplished nothing.

I was dual booting Win 7 RC & XP Pro and had no reboot issue when running XP. I just threw in the towel and uninstalled 7 RC. Voila'!

If you can pinpoint which update caused your problem, you should let Microsoft know, maybe you're not alone and this is avoidable?

Vista to XP dual booting was bad enough..

What made you do this???

I would agree with robjvan.... if you find a solution..
Go make some big $$ man!

No doubt a lot more to be said on this..

Looking forward to it!

LOL. I don't really care exactly which particular update it was. Just that it was one of the October batch I got on Microsoft Tuesday. I dealt with ~12 hours of reboots/shutdowns and 'booted' the O/S. Get it, booted the O/S? Up until that point 7 RC had run fine.

None of the Win 7 RC help sites had any useable info because the issue just came up, dig? I did a few emails but have yet to receive a response. No big deal. I'll either reinstall the 64-bit version I had or give the 32-bit flavor a shot.

Believe me, if this was a paid version I'd be pounding on somebody's virtual desk. No harm, no foul.

I installed and am running the Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit version on a new build and I must say I'm happy with it so far.

I did all the windows updates and have not had any reboot issues.
