Computer keeps rebooting, HELP!
 |
I was running windows xp pro and the computer would just reboot itself for no reason. Then i wiped out the hard drive and I am trying to reinstall pro, and as soon as I get to the part when it says "to install windows press enter", and i do, the thing reboots again! Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Hello and welcome to Daniweb,you problem could be caused by overheating,did you remove the cover and check for fans clogged with dust,CPU ,and power supply fans are the most likely to be clogged
Linux boot cd http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
Thanks, I guess that was the problem. I cleaned the power supply and the cpu fan/heatsink and it works now! Thanks a million!
