Okay. I had this one computer. It was fine for the first year. It started acting up. I got it fixed up. But then after that, it started freezing when I used programs that used a lot of memory (ex: video streaming online, maya 3d, games, etc.) So, I decided to reformat my computer to get a fresh start, because the freezes bugging me. I got my windows cd and started the reformatting. Some time along the installation, it shows this one blue screen with words saying something like "if this is the first time you've seen this error page, restart your computer". Its not exact because I dont remember it. SO I restart my computer and try to reformat again. But this time, my computer just reboots automatically by itself. I try again. The computer freezes while in middle of delete a partition in my hard drive. So i had to restart my comp. After a few retries of freezing, I tried to just boot up normally. It said that my system folder was not there. So i couldnt boot up normally. I even tried safemode. I thought it was a hard drive problem that was causing the freezes in the reformat. So i tried setting the cd drive (and this one old harddrive) as the master and the harddrive as the slave. Still froze. So,... can anyone help me with this problem?
edit: note: when my computer freezes, the laser and light of my optical mouse and keyboard goes off. sometimes, the numlok light just freezes though.
note 2: the freezes happen randomly through the installation.
note 3: i have never passed the part to delete partitions
