Yes I have tried without Hard Drive and Optical Drives according to earlier post. There was no difference in the results. The labtops are usually left on a table.

Bases on my experience with Desktops, any time the power supply dies, no fans will run. I will try to measure the voltage across the power supply or buy a new one. The worse case senerio may be the mother board died. Thank you.

GOAZ, I was suspecting that too . Both labtops are from diferent manufacturers, one is a Emachine and the other is a Gateway with two didderent types of pins on the DC side of the adaptor. I think I can test them with volt meter. Thank you.

My PC was invaded by Virus and Spam twice in two days. The second time around I formated the Hard-divide and started all over again and still caught virus within hours. This never happened to me before. I have been browsing the same site like before which I think are harm less. I had AVG free...

Finally I solved the problem! I read in another forum called Tom's Hard news, indicating that E Machines have a problem with AC Adapters. So this time I ran the installation on battery alone and also with another Window's XP OEM disk. The installation went smoothly. I don't know now whether it...
