We know pretty well that Windows 7 is a quite new operating system which is still in its RC version and therefore not ready (at the time writing) for the market and regular not-savvy users. That’s why we should not be surprise if, every now and then it reboots automatically to prevent the computer from being damaged beyond recovery. Such a behaviour is preset by Microsoft and it is triggered upon system failure. Anyway, if you are not a lucky person your Windows 7 may become stuck and therefore enters in a infinite reboot loop, an endless series of turn-off and turn-on loops without any apparent way to get out of it. Let’s s lean how to stop Windows 7 reboot loop thanks to a little trick!
- When your computer starts its next reboot (black screen), just hit F8 on your keyboard a lot of times till you get the Advanced Boot Options screen.
- Now, with your arrow keys, select Disable automatic restart on system failure and press Enter.
- Well, done!

I’ve never had Vista go into a reboot loop. Actually, I haven’t had Vista reboot in several months. It used to at first, but seems pretty stable now. It slows to a crawl some times, but IE 8 will shutdown an open window at times, then ask to reopen. I’m now I’m using Chrome most of the time, with rarely a problem, except playing some videos on MSN.com.

The rebooting is not because of system failure
it’s because the trial version serial end now
and they want to prevent you from using it.

encountered the restart loop at the post boot using Windows 7 ultimate 64. The F8 option did not function as it would reboot prior to executing. tried to clear cmos and no luck. After about 10 mins of troubleshooting, tried removing flash drives which where being used as readyboost, and startup succesful. Apparently formatting the readyboost drives to exfat was the culprit, I chose exfat as the allocation unit size was smaller. reformatted to fat and no more issues.

No dear, it didn’t work…
I think that the annoying restart loop is to prevent us from using the pirated verson. And why shouldn’t I? Just look at the cost of this O.S. it’s really too costly for a middleclass boy with small earning…
