go a question about installing slackware on a laptop,

i try to install using the boot/root floppies, and at
some point, be it at the login prompt or while i am
doing fdisk or even bofore i put in the root disk it
just locks up... and two minutes later the computer
shuts down...

is there a reason for this? am i missing something?

anyways some info on the laptop:
its a CompUSA PII 300 with 64 Megs of ram and a 6.4 Gb
HDD
a Matshita CDrom, and all the other laptop stuff
