This is my computer’s config:
Intel DG965RY motherboard
Intel Core2 Duo 1.80GHz
(1GB * 2)Kingston DDR2 RAM
ASUS DVD writer
Seagate 250GB (ST3250820SV), SATA drive.
I bought this computer about a year and a half back.Everything was normal until my hard disk gave sector reallocation errors. under warranty, i got it replaced. on the new harddisk, i installed vista. a few days later, it started giving the blue screen errors and would instantly restart. i had to remove vista and steele for xp. But that wasn’t easy either. when i was re installing Vista, it gave errors such as “cannot access file xyz.., please reinstall”
(hence i couldn’t reinstall vista)
During XP installation, i got “file/memory couldn’t be read” and would restart. But with repeated attempts, i succeeded in installing xp. But the system still restarts abrubtly, without any warning. the restarts are random, at any given time, either during loading after entering the password or while executing some program.
someone please guide/advice me on the steps that i must take to solve this annoying problem.
