Hi all here are some specs
Motherboard ASUS P5N32-SLI DELUXE
CPU PENTIUM D 930 3GHZ
RAM 4 X 512 Kingston 533 Mhz DDR2
PSU Antec NEOHE 500W

The problem is that the computer restarts every time the Windows XP screen appears (when the loading bar appears).
I completely discard de RAM, HDD, XP Disk and Video Card cause I Test they in other computers.
The PC worked fine for 10 months until the first restart, then I formatted the HDD and tried to install XP again. Well I coudn't.
It finishes the first part of the Xp installation fine and when the Windows logo appears with the loading bar before the second part begins it restarts again.
Any ideas of what can cause this behaviour??

 
Seems strange... doesn't seem like a conventional issue because everything had been working for some time...
Have you been overclocking?
Other than that, the only other suggestion I have would be to reformat again... completely wipe the drive with something like D-BAN (Boot and Nuke, google it), and format it again, make sure you have sufficient HDD space and it's in NTFS format...
