Trying to reformat the computer.
When I turn it on, it runs from 2 seconds from anywhere up to half way through the process of deleting the old partition. Sometimes it stutters when I try to turn it back on as soon as it shuts off.
Main problem is that the computer is shutting off randomly, preventing me from deleting and reinstalling windows.
Keep it mind the processor is brand new, the motherboard is fairly new.
At first i thought it was overheating, but it cant be. Sometimes it does this right away. Always turns on tho.
What I have tried.
Different working psu
Memory
Motherboard battery
FANS (I thought it was overheating at first)
Different windows xp cd
What I have not tried
CD Rom( the one currently installed is making a strange noise, but would that be the cause of these problems)
Hard drive (only because I dont have one handy)
Motherboard
So my question is, what can be the cause of this problem. The computer will not stay running, and I can not figure it out. Any suggestions are tips are welcome.
