help with xp performance edition

[Hampton]

there are a lot of different xp pro cds out that. you oem serial should work on most of them except retail and and corperate

Retail and corporate are the most common ISO's I have found but if he looks specifically for the OEM CD he should have no problem.

Also to the OP a lot of the "modded" versions out there don't work properly so if you find one that doesn't seem to work no matter how you burn it, it is not a good image file so you'll have to keep looking until you find one that works and the best way to save yourself the time effort and money of burning Frisbee's is to mount the image first before you burn it to see how it reacts.. if it gives the blue XP pop up as soon as you mount it.. that is a good indication of a good ISO image file, if it opens in folder view, it most likely isn't a good one.

Why does it reboot? Does it give a BSOD that we can diagnose? Does it reboot from a heat issue? Hardware failure?

We need some kind of information to be able to help you fix this. Until we get something all we are doing is playing guessing games.

it doesnt give me a bsod anymore it just keep rebooting in a loop.
could you tell me how to see if it is a hardware issue or heating issue.
as you can see im fairly new to computers lol.
many thanks

Check and see if you have automatic restart checked in the computer properties, if so uncheck it to see if theres any new stop error.

I still say find an XP disc that supports your product key and try a clean install. sounds like you have quite the mess there. the good thing is you can find one with sp3 intragrated.

this is what you want to google, since it is untouched.. meanig from the factory.. it is totaly leagal to download and use since your system is licensed to have one.

use your key when installing.

Have you checked the XBOX Live site for any and all information? I know that they have a ton of info on that site about issues like this.
