VS 2008 reboots computer   
Hello everyone,

I'm having a rather odd problem.  When I start up VS 2008, my system 
immediately reboots.  When it comes back up, everything works ok.

I had VS 2008 express on here then upgraded to Professional Edition, don't 
know if that means anything, but you never know.  I had VS 2005 on there 
running side by side, thought that might be the problem and uninstalled it, 
but no dice.

If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated

Please be specific. What do you mean, "reboots"? Do you mean it does the 
same thing as when you use "Restart" from Start->Shutdown? Do you get a blue 
screen, (and if so, what's on the blue screen)?

Hi John, thanks for the reply.

Yes, it is the same as a system restart.  I get the Visual Studio splash 
screen,  then everything goes dark and the system starts up as if I just 
turned it on.  No blue screen.  When Windows boots up I get the "Windows 
has recovered from a serious error" dialog box.

Which version of Windows?
What are your settings under Startup and Recovery on the Advanced tab of 
System Properties (right-click My Computer and choose Properties)? In 
particular, if your system is not producing a crash dump, then you might get 
this behavior on a crash. Are you running anything else that might prevent a 
crash dump from being taken? Disk encryption software, etc?

Are you running any Virtual Private Network software?

I was able to solve the problem.

In the Startup and Recovery settings, I unchecked the "Automaticaly 
Restart" option.  This time, when I started VS, I got the BSOD with the 
error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.  With a little research, I found out 
there was a problem with my video card and by turning off hardware 
acceleration (Display->Settings->Advanced->Troubleshoot), VS now starts up 
pefectly

Thanks for helping me out.  Changing the Startup and Recovery Settings was 
the key.
