Ok, so I bought a whole new system, one of those "barebones" pcs, and added my old hard drive to it. As soon as it started up, it made me perform a chkdsk scan. Since then i've been getting random restarts, with the error message: "0X0000008E", and often when I try to run games it just freezes and I have to restart.
When I try to install things, such as world of warcraft, at a random time within installation it gives me error messages saying that setup couldn't find some random file, and suggests that it might be due to hard-drive corruption or faulty memory.
So I bought a new hard drive, and during XP installation it says "error: <something about memory"> and I still get the same problems. After running a memtest and finding that the RAM failed every test, I figured it must be the RAM that's at fault.
So I bought new RAM, and tried that, and still I get the same problem whilst installing.
It's driving me insane, what else could it be? I've paid an absolute fortune out on this, and had no results....
If anyone could help me I'd be IMMENSLY thankful... I might even be "paypal" thank you
