Rebuilding a Dell 2300 - keeps shutting down during Windows installation - fixed!
First of all thanks to all the respondents!
The issue was the heat sink retention module. Installed a new one and hooked a 80mm fan to it. Loaded Windows on a new hard drive and it took the first time. In answer to the other questions ... 1 gig of memory is good. Motherboard model: "Bluford" Thanks again everyone for all your help. Paul |

Good! A lot of spontaneous shutdowns can be traced to heat problems. Or are
they cooling problems? ... Ben Myers On Tue, 23 Jan 2007 22:30:54 GMT, "System 4" wrote: First of all thanks to all the respondents! The issue was the heat sink retention module.
