I was attempting to reinstall windows xp. I put in the cd, formatted the hard drive, it copied the files, and then it is supposed to restart the computer so it can continue with the second part of the installation. You are supposed to take out the cd and boot from the hard drive at this point. When i start the computer it goes through the first screen, and the second screen, but it restarts the computer before windows can come up. I have tried to boot directly from the hard drive, but it does the same thing. I don't know what to do and I need help.
Thank you.

Jump to Postopen the computers case and check for dust/dirt buildup on the processor fan/heatsinc
