Im new to forum and this is first post hope i do this right
here it goes:
I have a Acer Aspire 3680 Laptop and it came with windows vista ultimate and ePowering Technology and i went to add apps for ePowering Technology like recovery, power management etc and after install pc needed to be rebooted and when i rebooted it got to screen where it is configuring updates step 3 then it goes to shut down and restart and gets to same point and no further. it just keeps shutting down and restarting. Next thing i did was try F8 and start system in safe mode to repair but same thing happens goes to configuring updates and shuts down and restarts same thing happens when i try other options in F8. tried starting with last known configuration and all others but just get same result. so next i tried Alt + F10 and got the following:
"Booting windows vista"
acpi
vista loader 2.1.2
acpi: reclaim memory not found
done!
fallback 1
find--set--root /bootmgr
(hd 0,1)
filesystem type is ntfs partition type 0x7
chain loader /bootmgr
will boot ntldr from drive= 0x80, partition= 0x1 (hidden sectors= 0xC593A6)
after that message i ended up on the following screen:
