my pc began shuttin down for no apparent reason....so the first thing that came to mind was that it got a virus (i'm using bitdefender antivirus)....so i started to scan and it shut off again..so imediately i ran my installation cd and wen it reached half way d pc shut down again...n i am thinkin d reason for tha constant shuttin down is overheating...but thats not my major problem....i left tha comp off for a couple hours and started to re-insall the cd again (windows xp professional sp2) and now it tells me that it cannot load bootvid.dll so now i have no operating system on the pc and it doesnt want to install so i am currently getting windows xp home edition to see if it will load the bootvid.dll...does anyone know what i can do to re-install an os r what procedures i should follow i gots all the resources so that i can do it myself i jus need to know what to do (i am currently on a lappy) i also installed a brand new 1gb ram installed a couple days ago..but i dubt that is the problem cause the pc was working good till now...i am using 30gb hard drive
