Computer Hell!!

(1/3) > >>

summerbliz:
A. I hope that I'm posting in the right area.
B. I've had so much trouble with my new computer these past 2 months.  I've had 5 (yes...5) clean reinstalls, because some software is screwing around with windows.  Somehow some of my drivers get corrupted, then I lose registry files and windows disapear completely.  That's it in a nutshell.  I'm desperate!! ( and close to tears)  
C. My system is:  AMD Athlon 64x2Dual
                        Core Processor 3800+
                         2.01 GHZ 2.00GB Ram
                         Physical Address Extension
I also have 224 GB of free space.
D. I realize that I'm grasping, but could my Pets be corrupted? (even though it says that it's been successfully installed)
    (aren't they all stamped, so to speak, from one master disc?
E. Another stupid question. Could global hacks, or any kind of download cause any kind of problems with registry files.  I know that I'm a moron, but I'm at my wit's end.

Thanx in advance!

You're not running a RAID array by any chance at all? The first drivers I had - Silicon Image I think- played havoc with my machine, all sorts of weird errors, BSOD all the time, all sorts of hassles. I'm running the AMD 4400 and I just wondered if your setup was similar. I used different RAID drivers and now she's sweet.

summerbliz:
Thanks for responding.  No, I'm not running a RAID array.

Random corruptions usually mean bad hardware (usually the video/mobo/CPU). I would advise professional assistance.

summerbliz:
My tech has been working on it.  He's checked the hardware extensively, and everything is working fine, at least till I bring it home.  The computer seems O.K. for approx. 4-5 days, then starts acting up.
All I've installed is Sims2 & all ep's and the two stuff packs, the patches, the Sims2 Pack Clean Installer, and AVG.  Appreciate your imput.
It crashes before I can imput my work programs.
