    The whole install was a mess trying to install win10 (2004) with a usb bootable. The whole time my laptop kept restarting during the install. I was able to work out the kinks by installing using a different pc (which never had issues restarting so the ssd drive must be good).

    I'm thinking once the laptop starts working hard or uses too much power, it turns off. I'm gonna swap the Sata HD cable and the power jack port to see if any of those are causing it.

    I originally thought my hard drive took a dump because it was randomly rebooting, so I bought a new ssd and tried to install a fresh copy of windows. One thing led to another and here I am.

    I don't get reboots in safe mode. Is there a way of being in safe mode and looking at logs to see why it's rebooting? I don't have much experience diagnosing advanced issues like this.

  2. Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
