Hi, Urgent need of help please...

So, I reformatted my C drive, following instructions from the Microsoft site. I booted from the CD, reformatted..everything fine.

The reformatting finishes, I type exit--computer restarts..

Now, I select to boot from CD. Screen comes up....gives me the option to reinstall windows..I hit ENTER.

Asks me where I want to install it, and I select the C drive, as it has the most memory available.

THE PROBLEM: At this point my laptop just shuts off, screen goes black, power off..almost as if someone took off the battery and unplugged the adapter.

I turn the laptop on again, same thing, just shuts off at this point..can anyone please help..

Thanks.

Ok,

I managed to get past that screen, and start the installation of Windows..it gets to 50%, then boom, turns off..any ideas?
