PC REBOOTING

[shaunk]

I had a Windows 2000 installation running and kept getting the blue screen of death.
The PC had to be shut down and on reboot, I had to go thru the disk consistency checking etc...
I got jack of that very quickly and decided to install XP.
No problem..
However, now every 5th time or so when I boot up, it gets to the stage of loading XP and the PC reboots.
Is this a hard-drive issue or a power supply issue ?
Thanks

It could be a number of things, but the PSU could be causing problems & would be the first thing to check. If you have a large amount of hardware, can your PSU cope with it?

PSU's aren't that expensive, so try that first.
