Question PC Powers off Durring XP Setup... Help plzz

Hey all!
I got a motherbord Here that likes to reboot or the system will turn off while trying to install windows XP or windows 2000. It has an Athlon XP 1.3ghz CPU. 256mb DDR ram. Anyway i go to install windows XP, i boot from cd and it starts loading setup. When it says "Setup is stating windows" my pc's hard drive stops spining and the pc turns off. I got NO idea why it does this. I installed windows ME on the system and ME installed and ran fine. I even tryed upgradeing from ME to XP and it still turns off when i go to run the XP setup. IT does the same thing with windows 2000. Ill go to start the setup of windows 2000 and the system turns off. But windows 98 and windows ME seam to run fine. What is causeing this? I tryed flashing the bios and resetting the bios. I also tried a different PSU and an different Hard drive. Even different memory... Any ideas on what to do? Mother bord about 1 year old
