I built a new computer and am having major problems with it. Basically what happens is that I can get through the WinXP Pro install without a hitch, however, the second I enter Windows the problems start. I receive random errors with windows that I have never gotten before on different computer using same CD. The computer also randomly restarts and I am not able to even reliably install the latest drivers. I already replaced the mobo, does anyone have any other ideas? I am really bummed. Thanks:)

I have had similar problems. The computer was OK after installation. Blue screens randomly apperad. After a shutdown it was no longer possible to login. After a new installation of software it was OK for some time. It turned out to be the power supply. After a change of the power supply all problems disapperad.

If these happen RIGHT after you install you may want to check out these files for errors during setup:

c:\%windows dir%\setupact.log
c:\%windows dir%\setuperr.log

Hope it helps
