Thanks mate i will try that, sometimes when i boot up it is saying
'overclocking failed' on on some attempts


If your power supply is weak, your PC will shut down while trying to install
windows. A bad power supply could also be causing random errors
(overclocking failed) on boot. However, the error message you are getting
could be caused by some funky CMOS settings. Remove battery, clear cmos,
then reload default settings in CMOS and try to install Windows again. If
it's still shutting down during windows install:

Try a different power supply. If that doesn't work, there is a slim chance
this could be caused by bad RAM also. -Dave
