Sorry if this happen to be wrong thread. It's been so long I have not look-up this section.

My laptop model is CQ40-133AX. I am trying to install Windows XP SP2 on this lappy but problems occurred. The case is my laptop automatically restart or shutting down by itself while installing Windows XP. FYI, I had slipstreamed AMD SATA AHCI with various Windows XP copy. The same problem encountered when I try to install latest Zenwalk(Linux distro). No problem at all for Vista and 7.

I read a few case in the net, it said maybe overheat the problem is or the CD that I use to install XP(something wrong when burning the CD). But I don't think the CD error because I can use the CD to repair-reformat-reinstall my friend's PC. Overheat is not the problem coz I place my laptop in a 24 celcius temp room.

I also tried many version of BIOS, the previous until the latest now, F.4A. The problem still there. I can't finish my installation of Windows XP.

Any thought?
