Ok this is driving my crazy... i have xp on my pc and when i reboot..i have to reload about 5-20 times before it loads and works...all kinds of bsod saying weird things, it seems to be pretty random (but ones its loaded its solid as a rock) ive formatted about 5times and used different copies and ive updated xp totally (no sp1 tho) and still the same errors come back.
So i installed mandrake, but when i come to install the **** for my modem it gets read error and cant install it (corrupt) and the mandrake control center crashes sometimes and if i close the window it logs me off straight away :s. When i try to reinstall linux (using the same cd again) it wont even load the gui installer gets some error.
So im guessing its some hardware error, but i cant afford to go out buy a new pc so i need to know exacly what it is so i can go replace it...
Here is my system specs
1.4 amd tbird
mobo abit kg7- lite
sound card - sb live
video card - abit siluro gf2 64
2x sticks of 256 ram (dont know what spec)

cpu temp is @ 45 now... 49 at load
i have all the latest drivers for everything..sometimes they fix it for a while but it comes back.
