        Because my father tried deleting everything on the drive and it became unusable. So I had to get a new one and the message on the screen was: The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop, to stop any damage to your computer Windows will shut down. It was close to that......


        Is this anything like what you are experiencing?

        The infinite loop problem

        Have you disconnected all peripherals, and have you tried re-seating the RAM modules?
