Alright, moved into college dorm, everything going good until I start my computer.
3.2 GHz P4 Prescott
200GB IDE HDD
XP Pro

At the blue screen (login), the computer froze, nothing worked. Repeated this process 5 more times, same thing. Booted in safe mode, ran anti-virus/spyware/adware stuff, 100% clean. The computer being a week old, (no info to lose) I decide to reformat. Insert XP Pro install disc and it begins installation but repeats itself over and over. So now I have a useless piece of junk that won't install and decides that after 30 minutes of installation, it wants to restart the process over again.

Any help?

P.S. Tech guys at school suggested that the problem might be memory or PSU but I switched the RAM modules into different slots and (I have two sticks of 512) only used on stick to test the memory. Niether worked.
