Hey guys, new here. Been googling for days to find a solution to my problem but unfortunately ended up with despair.

So anyway, at first my PC was making funny effects. The screen goes blank and no screen comes out after XP finishes booting up. Frequent reboots were needed to get into XP. Didn't care at this stage as i was able to still do my work.

After few weeks, the PC goes mad with BAD POOLER CALL errors and restarts and i could not get my way into XP same goes for Safe Mode. So i decided to repair my XP...

It all goes fine, when installation goes halfway at "Copying files..." screen goes black, DVDROM goes disco in the LEDs and the PC restarts by itself. This happens endlessly.

Could this be a hardware problem? Your help is very much needed.

Thanks.

Could be a zillion things. start by reading my post on XP registry getting corrupt. If possible run all the diagnostics I have done and post back your results.
On first look it appears to be either a RAM or DVD drive issue. Are you doing a repair install or a clean install.
first check for virus/spyware and then try clean install after a full format. It often helps.
