Well it ran fine for a week till today when i booted up, got to desktop
then boom system shutdown by itself the second i got onto it. I went
ahead with the xp repair as james suggested niether working. i then
decided to reformat again, and installed xp again. installed service
pack 2 on disk withou using net but sytem still shutown automatically,
i didnt even go on the internet or connect anythign like modems, usb
devices. So started up again and used zonealarm and xp firewall when i
connectd to get rest of updates.While updating the system, it shutdown
again. i bootd up again i got my catalyst drivers for my gfx card an
audigy ones for sound card. installed sis lan drivers and agp chipset
drivers and has ran for a few minutes now. in term of security im using
avast antivirus home and sygate firewall instead of zonealarm.
