I reformatted this past weekend. Actually three times. Each time was a chore because my wireless internet was conflicting with someone elses signal. I would install windows updates when I could get on the internet and restart the computer and again couldn't get on. On the first time formatting I booted up and it was going good. I went in to change my style of windows from classic to xp style and I accidently chose modified version. My screen went black instead of my icons. I couldn't change it back cause I couldn't see anything.
I started to format again. Reinstalled windows again. Going good until I restart and it has a check disc error. It restarts and after the loading screen comes on it goes blank and restarts over and over not bringing up my desktop.
The third time I got everything installed without a hitch. All drivers updated but sometimes I get a soundcard error, sometimes a wireless adapter error. After a quick restart everything is good. Sorry for the long post but is something wrong with my hardrive or something? My specs are below.

AMD X2 4200+, Asus A8N SLI Deluxe, 2bg OCZ pc 3200, 74 gb raptor, ATI X1900XT, Audigy 2 ZS, Enermax 500 watt psu.
 
It sounds like something could be wrong with your harddrive. If you format there really shouldnt be any kind of driver conflicts.

Did you try installing windows on another HD?

No I didn't. My drive is 2 to 3 years old.
