We bought a couple of the pick of the week Acer AM1641-E3750A Pentium dual core desktops.

The first one had hard drive issues (bad sectors) and we replaced the drive.. it appeares to work fine.

The second one we installed XP on the factory drive. It had an issue where it would just spontaneously reboot, which ruined the factory drive (corrupted index, wasn't fixed by XP chkdsk.

We replaced the factory drive with a Seagate drive and reimaged XP onto it. Got the same issue again just hours later during file copy.

We've replaced the power cord just in case. We might have plugged the one from the old computer into the Acer and it might have had a lower amperage rating or something.

Still confused, brand new computers acting this strangely!
