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?

Thanks, I guess that was the problem. I cleaned the power supply and the cpu fan/heatsink and it works now! Thanks a million!
