Amy, lets start with this... Please stop using all CAPS... It shows that you are yelling at us and is seen as "rude"... Now, have you tried to Fdisk the drive before installing?

Yes I did try fdisking the hard drives.I've tried using both types of HDS, sata and ides.no luck.There are no error codes,it just keeps rebooting half way thru.Yes i did address the cooling and that is not a factor.I've tried different kinds of memory too,it makes no difference.any suggestions , this is driving me crazy
