    Windows Resets Itself Before Installing a Program

    Don't be so easy to discount RAM, it does go faulty - but in anycase, when you say you installed a new 80Gb HDD, what exactly did you do ? Did you start with a new install of WinXP or did you clone the old HDisk or what ? Do you know how to turn off the power management features in your BIOS ...

    i need help, comp constantly reboots on it's own and loops it.

    I just answered a similar problem in the General Discussion area, I had a customers Win2K PC do this to me today, however, your problem seems to be slightly different, do you mean to say that your system not only reboots, but also locks up ? If so, at what point does it lock up ? ie.. does it...

    Windows Resets Itself Before Installing a Program

    This sounds like a RAM problem, I agree with wolluf, take out the RAM and reseat it, or try one stick at a time, or replace it altogether. Also, beware of Norton AV.. if it did detect a virus in the past, it may keep it in Quarantine, and therefore still on your hard disk, so check the...

    PC keeps freezing

    This sounds like it could be going to sleep, however the frequency that you mention (every few minutes and returns after 45 seconds) makes it difficult to understand.

    Problems powering up computer..begins to boot but then..

    My feild experience with this type of problem relates to a faulty PSU. CPU overheating causes this problem too, but usually the PC will boot and will run for several minutes before restarting or shutting down (when the CPU heats up). If it restarts immediately it is usually the PSU. I've also...

    OK to leave PC On All The Time?

    Shutting down regularly, is the best thing you can do for a PC, especially those running Win98, those running 2000 Server and XP are in a seperate category, but still a good idea.(except for servers on a UPS) The problem is well known with 98 - memory leakage... Try it... Cold boot your Win98...
