New XP Disc still crashes

I submitted a question about two weeks ago

I was getting blue screen errors
bad pool header
windows has revcovered from a serious error
CHDSK errors were appearing

I reinstalled windows XP and receved the same errors. I then ordered new
recovery disks and installed them last week.

For days the system worked fine. Today I am getting the same error messages,
constant shut downs, blue screen errors, system hanging up.

Hour glass freezing, internet explorer shutting down every 3 minutes. bad
pool header messages etc. Also the wireless network cannot be found at tmes
and says no networks in range while another laptop in the same room works.
when I tried to play videos it completely shut down.

I formatted the disk on the same partition upon installation. The only other
symptom I had previously noticed was the laptop does overheat at times. I
have to run it near a fan. Any ideas?

I did once last reinstall today, and received the same errors on a fresh
installation with the new disks.

New recovery cds will not help...How are you installing xp,with a retail
version & retail cd,one would boot to xp cd,select install xp,delete the
partition,create one,then let xp format & install auto...The mfg cds should
let you do the same,if not,a MS-DOS disk utility from its mfg web site will
perform hd functions like deleteing partitions...If the above is exactly
how you
reinstall xp,then use the mfg hd utility to test the hd.

Andrew E. is wrong. This obviously has nothing to do with restore disks or
any other software. You have a hardware issue. Yes, it could be overheating
or it could be some other hardware failure such as bad RAM or another
component on the motherboard. You can try and troubleshoot it yourself by
testing your hard drive and RAM and checking for overheating, but since
this is a laptop that's about all you can do yourself. Probably you should
contact the laptop mftr. for repair/replacement.
