Hello,

My brothers computer has been having some problems. His computer is an Intel P2 350MHz CPU with a 6 gig HD and 163 Meg RAM. His computer was working fine tell like 2 days ago so he formatted his HD and when he installs windows 98 and installs his graphics card (which is only an 8 meg) it hangs when restarting it, then you have to restart it and of course because of this the drivers arn't installed so you have to do it again and it does the same thing so we tried XP (because I have had it on that computer before running fine) and after the install of it, it just gives a black screen and hangs, then restarts itself and does it again. I can not figure out why this is happening, we have never had problems with this PC before. If anyone has any information that could help us out it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Rob.

P.S: Sorry for such a long report.

Did you say u used XP pro before and it was fine?...because the spec. of your computer does not meet the XP pro requirement. It should have work for windows 98. but to solve your porblem buy a new computer it is time. Plus after u buy a new comoputer it is much faster trust me.

Yeah I had Windows XP Pro on it using the same cd to install as I did this time and lasttime I did it, it worked fine. So I don't know what the problem is this time.
