I have just had my logic board replaced on my macbook pro 13" (early 2011) after spill damage destroyed the last one. Now it seems i have no operating system on it. When i try to install snow leopard from the disk i got with the macbook it shuts down before the installation is complete. I have wiped my hard drive and performed repairs but still no joy. Do i need to purchase a retail copy of snow leopard or is there something else wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yea fans are working fine. I'm currently using it from internet recovery mode. The installation seems fine until right near the end of the process then it just gets a grey screen and shuts down.
