ok so, I have this desktop I bought when I was about 13 years old im 17 now, a year ago I recieved a laptop as a gift so I gave my younger brother that desktop to use. Well he got a better laptop than the desktop or my current laptop, and while he was using it he managed to get tons of viruses on it, so I tried wiping the hard drive and re-loading xp on it. But this is where I run into trouble, while I'm trying to install the sp3 update it crashes, and will not re-boot. So my dad suggested putting ubunutu (I think that's how it's spelled) on it to see if it will run that without crashing, and it does just fine. Honestly I just want to use that desktop for school work because I'm looking into building a new gaming machine once I have the cash. But if it's something that can't be fixed it's not a huge deal since I have my laptop.
I really appreciate any help you can offer
