[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 887946, member: 187442"] The disk doesn't matter, so long as it is XP, as you're using the repair commands. The faukt, you described, can be down to a failing PSU, which are usually the first to go, but it could also be other things, overheating, especially the CPU, memory, graphics, or even the motherboard. Was it always at the same point the PC reset itself? This sounds like you'll need time, and patience, to sort it out. If you can remove the cover, to allow you full access, then try a different DVD writer, you dont have to fit it inside the PC, I usually have the PC lying down and connect various components, so that I can try different DVD drives, or hard drives, to test where the problem might be. As the cover is missing you can also visually inspect the fans, to see if they're working, and might need cleaning. [/QUOTE]
