I am having some trouble installing a fresh copy of windows 8.1 on my desktop. I needed to upgrade from windows XP, so I purchased a new hard drive, 4GB of ram and windows 8.1. I can install windows, but the computer randomly restarts during the setup/personalization process, causing a failed install. I have all external devices disconnected except keyboard/mouse/monitor. I even unhooked all the chassis fans (except cpu fan) and removed my old ram sticks and wireless card assuming I may have a power supply problem, but no gain. Any help?
