Xp not installing??

[Sixstring]

Hi

I am hoping i can maybe get some help. I have been trying to reformat to xp pro for days now but it just wont work.
Everything is going fine until it starts to install windows at the part where it is "Installing Devices"....when it gets there the entire pc shuts down....the monitor goes to standby and the hard drive shuts down.

Pc specs are

Asus a7n266-vn motherboard
Athlon 1800xp
Western Digital WD800 hard drive
Radeon 7500 gfx

Anyone got any ideas?

Just as an update i fixed this myself

If anyone is installing xp on to the type of board make sure you disconnect any gfx cards as the motherboard has a built in geforce2 and hence conflicts with the other while installing.
