it all started with format, and it kept shutting down, then i found your site, and read that simular problems i was having, was recommended for the batterie to be taken out 30 minutes and put back and then bios load defaults then change 1st boot. since then up till today i ahve tried to load win 98, win me and win xp, pro and home. pc kept going as far as copying files to hard ddisk, then nothing just stayed on that page. then got as far as in putting license number and when going to start windows, it closed down. now i am only getting as far as loading files then this page in blue screen with these numbers.
