So I have just built my 1st PC and when I try to install XP from a cd or floppy the screen reads boot from cd but then just shuts down on its own without starting to install XP. Any ideas on what might be wrong?
 
How are you using the floppy? If you take the cd out what do you get?

The answer has always been 42
