Article ID: 305681 - Last Review: July 30, 2007 - Revision: 1.2 Computer Turns Off During Text-Mode Setup If it Is Too HotThis article was previously published under Q305681 SYMPTOMS
When performing a clean installation of Windows XP, you may experience one of the following symptoms during the text-mode portion of Setup:
CAUSE
This issue can occur if the BIOS notifies the system that your computer is too hot to run.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, update to the latest BIOS revision from your hardware manufacturer. To work around this issue, when you see the option to press F6 during Setup, press F7 instead to select the particular Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) to install. This prevents your computer from using the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) HAL, and instead it uses a standard HAL.
