New XP Disc still crashes

[Guest Mike B]

I submitted a question about two weeks ago

 

I was getting blue screen errors

bad pool header

windows has revcovered from a serious error

CHDSK errors were appearing

 

I reinstalled windows XP and receved the same errors. I then ordered new

recovery disks and installed them last week.

 

For days the system worked fine. Today I am getting the same error messages,

constant shut downs, blue screen errors, system hanging up.

 

Hour glass freezing, internet explorer shutting down every 3 minutes. bad

pool header messages etc. Also the wireless network cannot be found at tmes

and says no networks in range while another laptop in the same room works.

when I tried to play videos it completely shut down.

 

I formatted the disk on the same partition upon installation. The only other

symptom I had previously noticed was the laptop does overheat at times. I

have to run it near a fan. Any ideas?

 

I did once last reinstall today, and received the same errors on a fresh

installation with the new disks.

RE: New XP Disc still crashes

 

New recovery cds will not help...How are you installing xp,with a retail

version & retail cd,one would boot to xp cd,select install xp,delete the

partition,create one,then let xp format & install auto...The mfg cds should

let you do the same,if not,a MS-DOS disk utility from its mfg web site will

perform hd functions like deleteing partitions...If the above is exactly

how you

reinstall xp,then use the mfg hd utility to test the hd.

Andrew E. is wrong. This obviously has nothing to do with restore disks or

any other software. You have a hardware issue. Yes, it could be overheating

or it could be some other hardware failure such as bad RAM or another

component on the motherboard. You can try and troubleshoot it yourself by

testing your hard drive and RAM and checking for overheating, but since

this is a laptop that's about all you can do yourself. Probably you should

contact the laptop mftr. for repair/replacement.
