The whole system just turns off and any random spot in the formatting process.

If you are booting from the CD and reformatting as part of the installation
process then it is likely you have a hardware problem. What exactly is it
doing? "Crashing" doesn't tell us much.

I had a problem with malware on my PC. As a result I am trying to reformat
the hard drive to start anew. However my system keeps crashing when I am
in
the middle of the reformatting process. It is always at a random spot in
the
process. Is there any know way to fix this problem?
