I had to format. Tried a system restore, and that didn't worked, so I did an emergency back up. CPU would go NOT under load, but the system would freeze for a moment, while displaying the hour glass, and I was out of options other than formatting.
I get the comp to format, and it begins to install xp pro. I for some reason have to "un-slave" the second drive to format c:. The comp does not load windows on the reboot, unless I "re-slave" the 2nd drive. However, the comp can't locate either hdd, until I specify them automatically in the bios. The cdrw is in the bios correctly. I reboot and it won't boot off the cd. The bios however does save the hdd settings. Then, the cycle continues.
I did once get it to load set-up , but it starts throwing errors, and I must terminate installation.
I don't know what could be wrong.
