Windows NT 4.0 reboots at Splash Screen

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: demnos

Ok, here is the deal. I have a server running Windows NT 4.0 SP6a. I recently downloaded the Security Update package from Microsoft's own Windows Update site and now my server is inaccessible. Well, I can't get into NT anyways. The server boots up fine as it always had before, but when it gets to the splash screen and the 'Hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE to login" box appears, the screen just goes black and the server reboots. The cycle is never ending. It just keeps rebooting and loading, rebooting and loading, rebooting and loading, etc... Does anyone have any clue what this might be and what can be done about it. Comments, Suggestions, anyone....

I'm not sure how to do it in NT, but try to boot in safe mode. If it lets you in, try to uninstall the latest updates, then try to boot normally again.

Is that even possible in NT. I know that you can boot up in 'VGA Mode' but I don't think that's the same thing. In any case, I already tried to boot in VGA mode and the same problem still exsists.
