"I just did a fresh install of Windows XP on my old computer because I'm giving it away.  Installation appeared to go fine, all the drivers installed fine and nothing seemed wrong.  \n\nI downloaded all the necessary Microsoft updates then restarted the computer.  The second it boots I get a message telling me that there was a problem with the system registry and it had to recover via a recovery file.  \n\nThe strange part is that this is the exact same problem I had before on a different hard drive after a fresh installation.  \n\nSo I reset the computer again and that's when the computer starts randomly restarting during boot.  \n\nAny ideas what the problem may be?"
