I am temped to think I might be something to with the cooling, but never came across a cooling problem with a loptop.

Any ideas??
Have you tried using a different peripheral (CD ROM DRIVE?) .It doesn't appear to be an o\s Issue since you've already tried 2. Having said that, are you using "genuine" o\s's? Since you're only reformatting and the laptop was "operative" prior (no problem with cooling) I'd Imagine this
would remain that way. You can check cooling via the bios settings under
"pc health" (Although different bios versions may vary). I hope this can help??
