I need help regarding my laptop

I have some problems with my Aspire 5051 AWXMi(is written on stickers) or 5050 that is written on sysyem propeties.
I had installed Vista Premium, i tried to install XP but when it reaches to install devices, at half way, the laptop it turns off.
I tried severel times but no hope.
I have updated the bios from v.1.3303 to v.1.3315...besides i have the issue with the battery as wel but to install the OS first and afterwards i will see.
The 80 gb hdd was partitioned in three: PQ..i do not remember, the restore part. and two other partitons of around 40gb FAT32.I deleated all partitions thinking to get rid of vista, and to install one partition only
Did i do something wrong?
