I just built a new pc with a Foxconn mobo, and when I try to instal windows
the computer shuts off. It happens just as you have it boot from disk. I have
tried disconnecting all power except for the HD, CPU fan, and CD-ROM. Also it
can sit in the BIOS set up for hours with no problem. Please help :-)

First off I got a bad processor sent to me and it wouldn't even boot, so I
put in one from my old PC ( same exact processor ) and it finally started the
boot process. Now as I have it boot Windows it shuts off.
