I have a problem. I'm running Vista Home premium and am using an Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard. recently I am unable get my windows running. The bios page runs when I switch on the computer but when it comes to the windows load page, it runs then shuts down and run again then shutdown.

Personally, I would be doing a clean install of Windows at this point. I would suggest a update attempted to happen and it has altered some critical file to the boot process. You may try to use the install media to repair the current install if you need to get some data out of the machine. But I would suggest there is more wrong with the machine than just 1 update or boot file...

Have you tried starting in safe mode? If you get there then please uninstall any recent programs installed. Also check to see if any updates are pending (maybe a update tried to install but for whatever reason failed)

The error I'm getting is that it says "The update failed to initialised. System is reverting to last known update". But it just keeps on booting on and off continuously. My last known action was to update itunes.
