Ok before we go all nuts and stick more hardware in the computer, let's try a few things first.
First off, define "it wont' boot and just shuts down"...
How far does it get? If you have no CD in, does the windows XP boot screen come up at all? Are there any errors? By "Shutdown" does it turn completely off, or what?
If it's turning completely off, that's not XP's fault, and if it is, that's a really messed up computer you have there. I did two brand new installs today, and they both are running happily with SP2.
Oh and for those of you that re-install alot, you may want to investigating slipstreaming SP2. What is slipstreaming you ask? Well in short... *holds up a CD*, see this CD in my hand? It's a Windows XP CD, when I install it, it already has SP1 and SP2 installed, so I have maybe 5 little updates to do, and that's it
