Auto reboot and restart of setup after Network components install

[Guest]

Help! I've tried 6 times already,trying to install 2000.But the damn computer
reboots itself after the installation of network components,actually it does
the reboot during step 3 (?) when the other files and such are
installing.Layman's terms,in the article "How to install Windows 2000" ,my pc
reboots between steps 13 & 14,after network is done,and while it's installing
the other files.What gives?I've run 98 SE,and XP Home on this same computer
in the past,and I've reinstalled Windows 2000 (reformat and everything) 6
times already,yet the computer goes nuts on me,so I know it can't be the
issue of the computer not handling Win 2000.PLEASE HELP..........ahhhhh!

PS.Just talked to a pc buddy of mine,and he said that the NIC card is
probably making the computer reboot itself,that there is a conflict
there.BTW,this copy of Win 2000 is a MSDN downloaded ISO Win 2000 SP4.My pal
said remove the NIC and redo the installation all-together.Does anybody agree
or disagree with this?

I would agree that this would be a logical troubleshooting step.
