I installed windows xp home edition on the following computer specs:
AMD K6-2 450
TX-100 Motherboard
256MB memory

after installation i inserted a floppy to a floppy drive and then access that floppy but suddenly the computer restarts itself, at first i thought it's just the floppy that goes bad so i inserted a new floppy again. same process, but the computer restarts again. i noticed that when i click the floppy drive icon in My Computer, and then when it touches the floppy the computer automatically restarts, i wonder what the problem is, pls help! this is the first time i encountered this kind of problem.

Are the floppies empty? What OS are u running? Is the floppy drive new?Have you tried it in another good PC? I am thinking that either your floppy is bad or that there is a setting in your BIOS that may be causing this trouble. I am like you, I have never heard of this problem before. Another thing to check is Device Manager to see if it reports a bad driver.Let me know if you figure out the culprit.
