I donno what kind of laptop this is but when you try to install the windows os does the area around the harddisk drive heat up more than usual?

no it doesn't, i have also tried to put a new hard drive in aswell and the same happens, really got me stuck this has.

Is this a Mitac Laptop? Can you give us a better description?


This may be caused by bad memory

i do believe it is a mitac, the laptop was brought from ...."the computer shop" but yes aswell as it being a time laptop i have been told the model is the same as a mitac

Ok so test or swap the memory...

what is the model and brand of the laptop. You need to be more specific when posting questions.
