Hi, my laptop keeps rebooting, and I can’t find any way to make it stop.
When I turn on my laptop all I get is a "First picture screen" (I dont know what to call it) telling me what processor I have got.
It says:
H2 Insyde
Intel Inside centrino technology
Then the laptop reboots, showing me the “First picture screen” again, reboots, etc. etc. I can’t seem to get out of this loop.
I can’t access my BIOS by pressing Delete. Only the F2- and F12-key works!
When I press F2 the BIOS displays this message:

When i press F12 the BIOS displays this message:

Booting from LAN…
The only difference between pressing F2 and F12 is the last sentence (and pressing F12 makes the laptop beep once)
Last sentence:
F2: Entering system configuration utility, please wait…
F12: Booting from LAN…
After displaying either of these messages, the laptop instantly reboots. What am I going to do??
This problem occurred to me approximately 24 hours after my AVG found a JP/Psyme virus. I tried to heal the infected file, using AVG, but it failed so instead I vaulted the file. I read about the virus, and it seemed rather harmless, so I didn’t think much of the infection until 24 hours later, when my laptop started looping. I have no clue if there is any connection between the virus and the BIOS loop, but I thought I would mention it, just in case.
Please help me. Any suggestions are welcome.
