I tried it but it did not work. This is my problem my pc is not loading windows xp. After the image loading windows xp(not sure of the exact words). The screen is splashing a blue screen and then it resets. Before I cannot see anything on the monitor it doesn't open up. But I bought a surplus(second hand) 8mb video card(I think it's an agp because the slot is color brown) and can now see images and text. Do you think 8mb of video card isn't enought to run windows xp? I also have tried to reinstall windows xp but the cpu just resets.

An 8MB video card should be fine to run XP. Onboard video cards run XP just fine i wouldn't see why yours wouldn't. Are you able to boot into safe mode? before the "windows is loading" screen comes up press the F8 key and it will give you an option to boot into safe mode. See if that does the same thing.

I dont know why i can't post links. I haven't tried but i imagine you have to have a certain number of posts or something before you are allowed to. Stops spam posts i imagine.

I haven't tried it and can no longer boot on safe mode because I have deleted the partition on which windows is located.

Well I'll just have to get to that number of posts before I can quote your posts.
 
I also thought that my memory is damage but I can see the memory count(i.e. 1 to 64000). I also don't have a tester so I can't test my memory if it has a damage or don't have. The computer I'm using right now has different memory it only has one notch. The computer I'm fixing has two nothces on it's memory.

haha you sure did! Good luck on the re-install. I imagine that is going to take care of your problem.

No, because it also resets while installing. I'm puzzled with my problem:confused: . Last thing on my mind is that my harddsik has a damage. I put a working harddisk on that computer but it didn't work. It says something like this "missing nldr". Not sure of the exact word.

The pc is now fixed. It is the harddisk that is causing the problem. That's the first thing the technician tested. He replaced the hd and installed a windows xp and it did not reset. But not before the harddisk accidentally fell. And my brother has to buy another surplus harddisk worth $18.

It was my fault or clumsiness not the technician
 
I have another problem, the pc does not turn off automatically. I don't know if it's really a problem because in the computer I'm using right now if I shut down the computer it automatically shuts off, I don't need to press the switch to off. Here's the prompt or the message " It is now safe to turn off your computer". But here's my dilemma I can't press the switch to off. Is it safe to just unplug my pc?
 
Is it Windows 98? That and 95 were the only operating systems that I've seen do that. If its not, then I imagine there is a setting somewhere that could make it turn off automatically.

If it says that its safe to turn off your computer, to the OS, it would be safe to unplug your computer to turn it off. However, the PSU probably wouldn't like that to much after a while. (ie. it will be more prone to crap out on you)

EDIT: just found this KB article from MS. Check that out if you are not using 9x.
