I had to manually install SQL 2005 because the toolset didn't install it. So about halfway through installing it, my computer randomly rebooted itself and now every time I boot to windows about 1 minute in it reboots itself. Luckily I have a friend who is in IT who helped me get to a previous restored version of windows which is the only reason I am able to type this. Even still, if I try to uninstall SQL 2005 it will reboot itself half way through the uninstall and I cannot get rid of it, even using a third party installer like Revo uninstaller. Does anyone have a solution for this? there was nothing on microsofts website about this problem, I checked.
SQL 2005 sends my computer on an endless boot cycle! HELP!

Wow, I don't even know where to go with this one.
I have never seen anything like this. My guess is that there is something in SQL Server 2005 doing this, we don't require any reboots to install.
We can start searching for a solution. If anyone else out there has any ideas, feel free to pile in.

To those of you experiencing this:
With the reboot, are you getting a warning that windows is about to reboot, followed by a reboot, or is it just doing a black screen "I just died and and turning off" at which point you restart the computer?
Also, could you indicate your OS (XP, Vista, 7) and which OS service pack you have installed?

It is looking more a more like a XP SP2 issue. Is anyone having this issue that is not running XP Service Pack 2?

I've added a section to the troubleshooting page specifically for this issue, since it's so crippling.

@Client.nt
Beerfish alluded to this earlier in the thread, but without a link. Apparently there can be issues with sp3 as well. Here is where he was quoting from. It does have a couple of links to MS knowledgebase hotfixes as well.

You could give those a try.
