This problem started about a month ago. When I boot off a disk manager floppy or win2000 cd it/computer shuts off right after it starts to load the drivers. I have tried different settings in the bios, (i.e. default, etc.). I have to hit power button to turn back on. If I keep repeating, it eventually will load but there is no set time of tries. I have noticed that there seems to be a small window in which if it gets past a point in the driver load then it will continue to load. If I just boot up to my os - win 2000, then it does ok. It just does this on floppy or a boot cd. Very strange!! (and frustrating)

Albatron board # PX865PEC PRO
2 gig memory installed (2-1 gb dimms), 4 gig max
celeron 3.06 cpu 478
