Start in Safe Mode and disable re-start on error so that an error message will appear when you try to boot normally: (For XP) Control Panel>System>Advanced Tab>Startup and Recovery>Settings, remove the check in "Automatically Restart."

Boot normally - post the error message here.

Also, download and run memtest86 (memtest86.org) Burn the .iso file to a CD and boot from the CD. Test each RAM module separately (remove all but one module at a time) for at least 2 hours. If each module passes separately, test with both modules for at least 4 hours. ANY error means a defective module.

Please give more history on this problem - Before this problem did you change/add/remove any hardware, any drivers; did you install or uninstall  any software?

When you "formatted" I assume that you did a format from the Windows install CD and then did a "clean" install - is this correct? Were there any problems installing Windows? Are you installing from original CD's/DVD's or copies?

1) Download and run the diagnostic software from the website of the manufacturer of the hard drive.

2) Disconnect everything from the computer except: one RAM module, keyboard, mouse, graphics card and monitor.

3) Try another power supply of the same or greater wattage.

Try each in the order listed and post back.
