Hi peeps, i have a hardware fault that i can't seem to get to the bottom of, normal running of windows is fine no matter how long my laptop has been on or how much i stress/benchmark it, the problem arises whenever i try and reinstall windows, no matter what media i use original cd, unattended cd, or i boot from a different partition my pc shuts down at some point during text mode if my pc has been on a while, however if i then turn my machine off and leave it for an hour and try again i have no problem whatsoever. I know there is not a problem with my cd's or my recovery partition as they work flawlessly everytime when my system has been off for an hour or so, the longer it has been off the further through textmode it gets, it has never shutdown after the first boot after textmode. And no matter how hard i try i cannot get it to do the same during a window's session. Any suggestion's?
