Hey it seems like your getting annoyed with my posts. I know im asking alot of questions lately but if you could bare with me.
I now have successfully installed windows vista ultimate. Basically continueing from above, I just did an improper shutdown again and reinstalled it and created a new account from the one above (it wouldn't let me use the same account from the first) and everything works perfectly.
This proves that my computer's hardware is unstable. Because one time it was stuck and the third attempt it let me complete the installation. I did encounter a new problem. The symptom is that my computer stops making noise and the screen is frozen. Everything is still turned on, my computer has the led lighten up but I dont hear any noise at all.
What hardware replacement should I start looking into? My computer is 5 years old.
