I Can't able to install XP SP2.windows always gives diff. diff. errors each time i try to install.
my system reboots automaticlly.

Is there any prob with RAM?

i have checked both ram sticks each time error is same.

i can't able to figure out what is the problem?

Different errors meaning? BSODs?
Plz elaborate.

The first question would be whether you have genuine Windows XP

Different errors meaning? BSODs?
Plz elaborate.

means some time says file is currept sometime says fail to install catalog files
some time says can not find xxx.dll in i386

seems like Your CDROM has some kind of problem, try to install it using other cdrom or clean ur cdrom's lens . . .

Corrupted Data In Cd Try Installing From Another Cd...........

i copied sp2 from cd on hdd then try to install it but no use.
actually sp2 installation extract the i386 files in memory and then installs files one by one.
so i don't think there is any prob with CD ROM.

Problem must be with ur CD rom...Might be when u copied ur cd to ur PC, some file didnt copy properly...and SP2 installation doesnt extract files in memory(RAM)...it extracts on a hard disk partition having enough free disk space..
Better Download the setup from Microsoft website

If your system reboots automatically ...then check your processor fans

Overheating may be a problem that might coz restarts ...

possibilities........
1]bad CD .....
2]bad CD DRIVE......
3]overheating.........

Motherboard 44 °C (111 °F)
CPU 43 °C (109 °F)
Seagate 42 °C (108 °F)

The temp which u have quoted are perfectly fine and normal...u will actually have CPU arnd 70-80 if its overheating.
