Infinite Restart Loop?!?!?!

[Salvo4231]

Hey guys!

 

I was fresh reinstalling my windows 10 onto my HDD as I encountered an error preventing me from booting the computer up, in the end I found it was my new GPU causing this error (a dead GPU?). So now my computer shows an error message: "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an error during installation of windows". I looked this error up and it told me to press shift f10 to open a console and to type regedit in and to find status on local machine, changing the number from 1 to 3. I did this supposed fix, however, now my computer is in a infinite restart loop, displaying the windows 10 installation at 64% and then restarting again...?

 

Please help me solve this issue!

Thanks!

Oh god no. What path and file did you edit? If you can't open up the console again you will need to reinstall windows, and even then you may have to. Once you manually edit a registry value, unless something is constantly writing to it (this would not usually be the case) it will stay that way.

I followed these steps:

When the error appears press SHIFT+F10 and it will open up the command prompt.

Open the registry editor by typing in the command “regedit”

Now the registry editor appears, you now need to navigate to:

HKLocal machine/SYSTEM/SETUP/STATUS/ChildCompletion

Now find the key called “setup.exe” the value needs to get changed from 1 to 3

 

I cannot change it back to 1 again unfortunately....I've asked this question on another forum and they're only solution was to attain windows 10 and install it via USB which I'm in the process of. If you guys have any other solutions, please help, if not, thanks for trying!
