Question

My laptop is trying to reboot but it ends up shutting off and trying again. It has been going on for days now, and I don't think it's going to stop. How can I get around this reboot loop?

Community Answer

The hard disk may be broken, or there is not enough RAM, or it could be may other things. Take it in to a computer repair shop to have them look at it.

Gateway can supply them to you for around $20 CAD. However, if you're under warranty, you can just send it in.

Question

On my gateway ne56r41u, the screen turned blued and shut down. It said something about repair mode and that was it, no more response.

Community Answer

You have described the blue screen of death. Try hitting the power button and F12 at same time and select start-up diagnostics.

Wait for some time and switch off the power button and switch on your laptop. Do this process 4-5 times and you will be entering to automatic diagnosis.

Install a new operating system on your pc laptop to boot. Use hetman partition recovery software to recover your deleted files.
