Just decided to format my machine, i put the recovery disc in drive e: an reboot my machine.

I press any key when it prompts me to do so, and it formats re-partitions my drive and then starts the installation, but gets part the way through and says chech sum error.

Other times it will get to 100% an then say Stream Error.

Problem is i now have no computer.

Help please?

Thanks.

Checksum errors usually indicate a dieing cmos batter (the watch-like battery on your motherboard). You could try taking it out and putting it back in, to clear the CMOS settings.

Thanks for you're help. i replaced the battery but no diff.

However i removed the ram that was installed shortly after i got the machine an that seems to have worked.
