Keeps rebooting on startup

[reboot]

I just downloaded and installed about 10 MS critical updates and now it's
stuck in a boot/reboot cycle. This happens in regular bootup, safe mode, and
last known configuration.

And they want us to let them automatically install all updates....

I just left a customer site with the same problem. W2K domain controller with
SP4 installed, just added the August patches and it keeps rebooting!

It is a Dell Poweredge 1600SC with Perc4/SC and VS80 tape drive.

We've been on the phone with MS for three hours and can't get anyone on the
line (in the Server critical queue!).

I had that happen on a machine, Fdisked and reinstalled everything from
scratch. After adding the patches -same deal.

Right now it does a scandisk that takes about 45 minutes each time it boots
or else it will just blue screen (seems to be confused about swap space). I
checked the page file, and it looks like it's set correctly.
