[Liam amd.64]

i tred reformatting with a windows disc and let it turn on with the disc in and pressed any key it started and then the computer turned off, then when i started the computer up there was no retore point it had been turned of and there was know previous restore point, also my graphics card driver isnt working says it could not start, and also some of the tabs have gone when i open up my computer/ properties there are tabs missing!!! how can i reformat if my comp turns off when i boot from the disc?

Are you using a power strip (Surge protector)??

It could also be your Power Supply, could of worn out.

And you also shouldn't make 2 threads of the same problem, heh

try repairing the installation too, but it really shouldn't shut itself off when booting from disk unless there's a bios/cmos virus or you have heat or other hardware issues, at least not that I can think of offhand
