I'm working on a buddy's computer. I can't tell you exact specs becuase I do not know. Basically it is a 1.4 Athlon with a gig of ram.
Long story short, he was complaining that Windows XP was restarting randomly. The computer was basically empty except for a few games. The consenus was format it and re-install. Seemed to be easier than picking it apart. Well, now Windows XP or 2000 will not go back on.
The computer encounters a file copy error everytime I install. The error always occurs around 65-75 percent. I have tried everything possible. Different hard drive, formatting different ways, FDisking it. One time I was able to skip some files and get closer, then I got a stop error. I'm annoyed.
If I was to guess, I would say a chip/motherboard issue. What do you think? If it was my comp, I'd trash it and get a new one, but alas, it is not.
