What's wrong with My PC???

I believe the MB is one year but from Shuttle. However, I don't know if
the problem is the MB. It's could be the CPU and also, like you said,
power supply. But how can I know which one? I don't want to buy
another one of each in order to test that way.

Thanks!

I had some problems getting my system up and running.
Wrong speed Ram that was not backwards compatible like Kingston said.
Defective Kingston's Ram (#2) would cause my computer to freeze at 18% of
WINXP install.
Finally got my system up and running with a different brand of Ram and
exchanged my Kingston for another one that seems to work fine too.
I also improved my power supply that slowed my errors coming. The errors
still came at exactly 18% on the install, but the blue screen took longer to
show it's ugly head.

So it may be your power supply. A little more information may help figure
out things.
Tom is right the MB should have a year, but if your CPU is OEM it maybe only
30 days.

Well you should be able to return the Power Supply, Ram and MB. If you buy
these and set your old CPU in the new MB that might indicate something.
This was my method of discovering my problem.

You also might be able to have your CPU tested though.
