Problem started monday after months of carefree ops.
XP Pro on 4yr old Gateway box. Power supply fan stops on XP boot. XP is
running very weird, ie unable to load settings for some users. Intermittent
restarts.
I run Norton 2003 and zonealarm, p2p network, all SP installed. At first I
thought Blaster but symantec says no viruses. Tried to Reinstall XP but
system will not take Admin Password. New power supply in mail. any
suggestions?

Fan ran for 2 hours straight running NAV from CD.
 
Jym Thanks I didn't see any correlation but as i stated fan stops when XP
boots. running from cd ie. Norton disck scan fan runs forever.
could it be a video problem?
