Guys I'm desperately in need of help and I hope you can find a solution to this crap since technicians here arent worth shit.
Ok so I built a nice gaming rig, put all the parts together, installed windows XP and decided to start installing the drivers. But before the installation goes up more than 1% the computer reboots and then I'm forced to format my pc for the nth time because some system32 file got corrupted.
I asked a technician around the neighbourhood and he said I should install service pack 3 before the drivers, so I did. But just like with the drivers before it reaches 1% it automatically reboots! WTF seriously, I'm starting to think the problem is related to voltage or energy consumption because once it starts to work just a bit more it reboots. It also freezes when its idling for too long, making hard reset the only solution.
Here are the specs:
Motherboard: Intel DX48BT2
Processor: Intel Core 2 Do 3.16Ghz (E8500)
Video Card: ATI Radeon 4870
RAM: 2 gigs DDR3
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 500gb (firmware:3.AAK)
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
I tried to look this up on google and found alot of people with the same problem by searching DX48BT2 reboots and it seems like its very common, but unfortunately all their questions ended unanswered.
Also before windows loads it says "hard drive not detected" (WTF?) but it starts anyway.
Any help is really appreciated, thanks a bunch.
