I have two desktops at home, both with updated Win XP-Pro. Lats week I updated the Avast AV on one of them and it stopped working. It keeps restarting at the last step of boot, right before the blue logon screen. Can't boot from XP cd or in safe mode either. Tested new memory and nothing.
Put HD as slave on the second PC and run checkdisk. Everything seems fine, can copy from and to it.
I did not suspect of Avast till this morning when I updated the second PC and the same thing started to happen. Now I'm stuck with two PCs that won't start and using a notebook as last resort.
Did anybody experienced this kind of problem? Is there a solution besides trying to rebuilt the system from scratch?
