  i dunno if this going to work but u may well try
  
  first (this q might seem a bit stupid) hope ur lappy did not show any of the above described symptoms b4, that is u have successfully installed os on it b4
  
  try rebuilding ur master boot record
  
  to do this just type "fdisk /mbr" after booting up with dos command prompt
  
  do keep us posted

  yeah buddy
  whtever i hav wrote is prefect. b4 i hav installed os many a times.
  n never got any prob. n fixing mbr is not a gr8 deal coz my os boots, but there is a prob with certain files and the systems shuting off.
  
  Also i hav taken precaution of viruses so there is no scope for tht.
  well might be u misunderstood the prob.
  note: i hav completely formated hdd with its formal formating code in dos.

  try this out if u can, this might help pin point the root of the problem, try booting with a linux live cd and see what happens, please post the results and we might have a better idea where the bug might be.

  thx buddy
  i hav done it before same thng repeats
  I hav 1 doubt plz help. i think there is a prob with certain addr of mem. module. can this lead to my prob??
  coz several times as i mentioned while installing it shut offs at certain point.
  tht means a certain addr is corrupt.
  to make sure i performed a mem test using fedora 8 dvd (mem test included at boot). After 60% it shuts off. i repeated test twice, same results.
  hence i tried installing linux mint.(note:mint use effectively less mem).tht means it might not hav reached tht addr.live cd worked but while installing mint after some time it hangs forever.
  
  can mem b a prob.?
  n Mahul i m really graceful to u,tht u r helping me out. thank u.

  Well memory might be a prob. and 1 way to check that would be to try out with a different RAM 4 ur laptop. If the problem persists then the problem might not be there, else it's almost certainly the ram(the mem test fails too).
  
  There's 1 more thing u cd try out(since u mentioned that the machine boots successfully with a live cd). Try a live cd with numerous applications(if u can think of nothing else get 1 with video players, i know of knoppix that supports a full fledged player and i'm pretty sure there are others) and try opening lots of applications simultaneously so that good amount of system memory wd be required. Notice ur system response.
  
  And cut out the thanxx buddy, after all this is what crazy engineers is for isn't it. and i'm sure u will help me out next, so it all comes back.
  
  well best of luck and do keep us posted.
