    Default WindowsXP Setup

    Right, I've burnt three XP torrents two disc, all include SP3 but all are different releases with different stuff included (I.E up to date WMP11) etc.

    But every time I try to setup, I get to the text based setup part (where it says copying setup files) my computer always auto-shuts down.

    Then I though it must be a coincidence (all 3 discs not working at computer powering off at all roughly same times) so I used an old legitimate XP disc that only includes SP1 and is fairly out of date, but surprise surprise, that crashes in roughly the same place to.

    So I get browsing Google and find this (says my PC is too hot so BIOS power my laptop off);

    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=305681

    How ever, I do not recieve the error it says that I should receive (can be seen on the visited link above)

    So i'm pretty stumped, have just tried it after leaving my laptop for an hour and reformatting that way, but when I picked it up it was as cold as the temperature outside, but still... all discs crash in the same area.

    I'm currently running Vista and am trying to dualboot.

    Help?
