Hey... whenever I'm in the process of installing this game (Command and Conquer Renegade) my computer monitor turns off and then my computer turns off and restarts.

I have tried installing other games (including Call of Duty) and they installed successfully. I have tried using my friend's Renegade CD, and got the same problem. So, I then took the last chance I had and reformatted my hard drive. I tried it after reformatting my hard drive and my computer still restarted in the middle of the install!

I have no clue what the problem could be. I have all the latest Windows Updates and drivers.

Asus A8V
A64 3800+
2x256 Corsair XMS PC3500
74GB Raptor
R9800 Pro (ATI)
530W Fortron
Windows XP
 
Oh yeah forgot to mention, I have tried two different sets of memory. All my settings are at stock, haven't tried any over clocking
