What method/program did you use to format? I suggest you F-Disk , and attempt it again, as there may have been an error in the formatting, ALSO have your Disk you used to format the machine checked for a virus, use a clean startup disk (Free From Nasties) , and likely it will go for you, if you still can't get it to behave , get a Virus checker to check and see if you have a bios sector Virus

Make sure that all your hardware is connected solidly (no loose cards, memory, etc) and then fdisk, format and start over.
