PC crashing after rebuld and reinstall of windows

[Guest]

Recently I have rebuilt my pc, following a failed mobo. Last night I
started reinstalling windows. Everything was going fine except a couple
of nasty mid-install restarts which meant I had to install windows
again.

I finally got windows installed and everything seemed to be fine. All
was working, I installed my norton anti virus, downloaded the updates
and installed my broadband software.

then after the necessary norton restarts I started copying some files
onto my pc from my external hdd. And it crashed! I know the external
hdd works properly as I use ut regularly with my laptop and there are
no probs and all the files on it are fine.

When the pc restarted it crashed a couple of times when it reached the
"windows is starting" screen.

After a couple of tries I got windows started and was presented with 2
error messages as follows

1 "windows UI encountered a prob and needed to close" send error
report, blah blah

2 "windows has recovered from a serious error"

both wanting me to send the error report to microsoft.

This has happened every time I start the pc within about 10minutes of
using the pc.

Any help, much appreciated


Andrew

Perhaps more than just the MB failed? Memory? CPU damaged? Did you get
the fans up and running, plugged in?

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Could be overheating.
