Hi Guys,
I've been having major problems with windows XP and my computer. Within the last month I have probably have had to repair or reinstall a copy of winXP about 20 times! I have installed the version that came w/ my comp, the HP version of home and I thought that the reason it was giving me problems was because it was the HP version so I acquired myself a version of XP Pro hoping that maybe this would solve the problems. Well it didn't. The problems I have been recieving have been ones where windows cannot start because it is missing vital files that windows needs. Is this my failing hardware, cuz if it is I still have my warranty til Feb of 2k5 and can get any hardware replaced. I need some suggestions on what you guys think is wrong with my computer, I've done everything I know, low level hdd formats, you know the works. The only things I just thought of right now that I haven't done is a RAM test, but im pretty damn sure the ram is fine, and a thrid party HDD scan (did all of the ones included w/ windows). Can you recommend any free aps that could do this? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
