Several times my computer will keep rebooting and never
completely load windows, even when in safe mode.
An error has appears at times stating that Windows has
not loaded correctly, this also appears at times, then
the computer will reboot.
Also when I search for the font file I do find it but it
is empty.
When I manually try to restore the fonts only some are
restored. The only choices I have are 'fixedsys'
and 'system'.
This problem has occured several times today alone.
This problem happens when using either FAT32 file system
or NTFS.
If I leave my computer on, it will reboot by itself after
a time, which varies in the length of time this happens.
