Everythings Corrupt

[undeadsac]

Every-single-thing that I d/l onto my Maxtor is somehow corrupted. I can't install anything such as drivers etc. they won't unzip or unrar, theyre all corrupt, I can't watch any video the system BSOD infinite loop errors, I cant pass 3dMark05 I get BSOD IL, I can't play DOOM 3 or Half-Life 2, both crash at the boot screens, I basically can only use this computer for websurfing I so fucking tired of this shit I am about to scream.

See sig for comp specs

Try running Disk Error Checking Utility by Windows(think its more common by ScanDisk). Sounds like you have a bad sector in your hard drive somewhere. If that doesnt work, you can always try a full format of the drive.

Also, I think it could be the ram. If you have another computer, getting memtest86 might be a worthwhile expenditure of time.

Yes, what the first two said.

Schedule a thorough scandisk on your drive and also run memtest for at least 24 hours to track down where the errors are coming from.

I'd start from checking the memory...

You only need to run Memtest through about 3 loops to find any errors.
If you find errors check out each stick by itself.
Then try each pair and finally see if they will work together.

Also go to your hard drive makers home page and download a disk checker.

Luck........

Already ran Memtest 86 passes all tests no problem.

Already ran Memtest 86 passes all tests no problem.

Next steps would be an hour or two of Prime95 followed by the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostics.

Good Luck - B.B.S.

I had the same problem. Ended up being my RAM. Either that, or your HDD or cables.

What the full BSOD error message including the STOP code ?

As it seems to be vid card related, as you stress that with games/3dMark it fails, hows the volts & cooling on it ?
Have you checked that your copy of DirectX is correct ?

I tried to use the DirectDiag and it fails the 3d render and puts the computer into BSOD Infinite Loop error involving the n4Disp drivers. I've tried 4 different driver sets and it has the same problem with all of them.

 

[Tigerbiten]

Check on how hot the vid card is getting.
Here's a page on the infinite loop error.
How well does that copy whats going on with your system.
There are some ideas to try in the bios at the bottom of that page.

Have you an old vid card, pref a non nvidia one, that you can try in your system.

Luck........

Maybe the mobo? (NV4.dll)

every single thing that I d/l is corrupt on this system. There are no bad sectors on the HDD. Who wants to buy the whole system for 650.00?
