ok here is my story, I bought theGigabyte X36-DQ6 DDR2 version, after 3 days of use my old seagate harddisk suddenly started to develop bad sectors and other kinds of errors, and eventually wouldn't start windows, every attempt to format the drive ended up freezing the system.
I thought it was the hd's fault, so I quickly grabbed a new Western Digital 250G, but the problem persisted, what I am having now is that I can turn on the computer, can see the drive in BIOS, can partition it, but formatting still freezes, and windows xp installation freezes right before the screen where you can format/delete/partition the drive.
so I called a technician to come to check and he couldn't tell a clue but suspected the motherboard, so tomorrow I have to bring my pc to his workplace where he will do a throughout inspection.
can anyone suggest any hint or solution from my description?? I am really getting desperate, I spent a leg on this board. please help!
