It never rebooted randomly, once I was in it was fine but everytime I rebooted I would have trouble.
Before when I restarted and the intro screen (telling you to to do updates etc...) the computer would reboot again and again(loop) to which I would have to turn off power interrupting that cycle and then the next time I restarted it would go to the advanced options screen.
Now it doesn't loop when I restart it goes strait to advanced options but I still have to update the grub boot loader as before.
I only have linux operating system on this computer, there is a partition with the original Dell/Windows operating info on it
When I restart after a failed attempt I get a screen similar to this http://www.hecticgeek.com/wp-content/upl...te-2.2.png but with an options to boot normally and no option to boot into any
other operating system. Clicking on advanced options takes me to recovery mode and then several options (one being update grub boot loader(which I take)) and after that my linux starts up and runs fine until I reboot again and I have to do the same thing over again.

Quote:I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying that it no longer reboots randomly like before? (That's what you wanted, right?) What do you mean by it taking you to "the advanced options"? Can you describe that in more detail? (What are the options you're seeing?)
