I just put together a new system and while Windows is trying to install my system shuts down instantly during the process. I'm not really sure why it's doing this and it's driving me crazy.
Specs:
P4 3ghz (hyperthreading)
L4VXA2 Elitegroup motherboard
650W power supply
2GB ddr sdram
GeForce 7300GT 512mb
250GB western digital hard drive
I'm confident that my computer isn't overheating and I've even ran a desk fan into the case to be sure. I've swapped out the ram to see if it was that and the problem still persisted. All of my fans (front, cpu, and back) are running fine as well.
I don't understand why it's just shutting off with no warning. All I hear is what sounds like a switch and then the fans lose power and the computer shuts off. It always seems to happen around the time I pick the partition to install windows on (sometimes just before, sometimes on that screen, and sometimes just after).
