I am building a computer... PIV Processor, 3.06 Gigahertz, L4VXA2 Motherboard, DDR RAM... Nvidia G Force 4200 Videocard. Anyway, the problem is... I'm installing Windows XP on it, and when I get to about the part where you enter in the authorization code (about 10 minutes into the install process) the computer restarts all by itself. I don't think this is a fan problem, because all of the fans seem to be working AOK. Also, it seems to restart around that time, but not at the exact same time... Also, before it restarts completely, the moniter seems to shut on and off... It goes black, then the screenc omes up, then goes black again... Sometimes before it restarts, a error message flashes really fast, but there is not enough time to read what it says. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want my beast up and running.
