any help thanks

could be ur ram. if ur mobo has built in memtest then run it. also try underclocking ur ram.

When i got a new PC, i had to setup my hard drive (WD Raptor) using the Data lifeguard tools. This is assuming your hard drive is a Werstern Digital and SATA.

I could not install windows at all before i partitionned and format using that disk.

SATA drivers? thats something i noticed...there may be a problem with that.

I would try to replace memory modules..
