Computer Not Starting

Hi all,

Put this in the BSoD forum, although there's a BSoD it seems it would be more appropriate here.

Basically, I have a problem with my desktop computer (a Phillips Freevents PC). It came with Windows Vista already installed, and when I had previously had problems with that, I obtained a Windows 7 installation disk from a friend which worked temporarily and in the meantime I bought a Windows XP SP3 installation/repair disk and continued to use that. However, the computer began to reboot at random intervals and now just won't turn on at all. I have tried reinstalling the system time and time again to no avail. I currently have no system whatsoever on my computer.

The only change I can think of is when I installed Windows XP, many of the devices were missing and I used Device Doctor to install them again. However, now I can't get onto the system more than a few seconds at a time.

My computer is completely wiped at the minute and have no idea what to do.

Any help would be appreciated!

If it won't boot into the BIOS, and stay running without shutting down, there is a hardware issue.

You should pull it apart and test. There is a guide here> http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f15/how-to-bench-test-your-system-262998.html
