My desktop keeps dying while it installs windows xp. Every few minutes, it just shuts off. Even when in BIOS and not doing anything. 

 

I'm getting a new power supply today because I just blew the fuse in this one. 

 

Thanks

I had this happen with one of my old trash fi d computers. The hard drive was failing. Replaced that, and windows 7 installed fine.

Sorry, nvm, didn't read the bios part. I'm going to say reseat everything (ram, data cables, case cables, the whole shubang,). If it still doesn't stay on, its most likely the mobo or cpu.
