hi,
today i reformatted my computer and reinstalled windows xp during the
windows installation my comp kept restarting. so i took a look inside and
there was a bunch of dush in the cpu fan so i cleared that out and then the
install went fine.
I then installed all the drivers and such needed for all the hardware on my
computer. after that i tried to install world of warcraft ( a game) during
the installation my comp restarted. it booted up fine after that and i tried
to install it again. once again the comp restarted. after the thrid time i
gave up for a bit then came back to try again. during the install it
restarted again only this time when i got to the windows loading screen my
comp restarted. and it kept restarting. i put in a bootable disk with a few
utilities such as memeroy testers and stuff like that. every time i ran
memerory tests my computer restarted or just turned off. after a few tries i
tried loading the fail-safe bois settings.with that my comp just froze at the
first screen ( bois screen?)
i then took the little battery out of the motherboard for about 15 mins and
then put it back in. my bois setting were reset and my comp booted up fine. i
guess i am asking what would cause this behavior and do you think that i
should replace my RAM. i am afraid to try to reinstall world of warcraft.
thanks
