Well, that cleanly rules out HDD problems Sam. All that is left is the cd (unlikely), the CPU or motherboard.

Hi Sammo, great news.

It's not absolutely necessary, but I would recommend it. If you don't plan on using it, make sure your CPU is cool enough. Check your CPU temp using |MG| Free Download - EVEREST Free Edition 2.20

The maximum temps of P3's is normally is between 65c and 70c.

The purpose of thermal grease is to help conduct the heat between the heatsink and the CPU. Air can sometime trap between the two, and air is a poor conductor of heat.

EDIT: Marked as resolved.
