Not sure exactly what this could be...I have even reinstalled windows after gettign the "Error Loading OS..." and "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem" messages.
Ok so yes Windows XP Professional has been reinstalled. While I dont get the Error Loading OS message anymore..I have gottne the "Windows could not start" a couple times since.
II have ran Mcafee,nortons, malwarebytes, and ran HD tests on from Western Digital. The tests showed a drive had bad sectors and askd to fix it which we said yes. Ran th test again and it showed as passed.
It sometimes goes hours before locking up..sometimes minutes..sometimes locks up loading windows. A few times I have heard what sounds like one of the HD trying to start up then within a minute the comp freezes up and i have no other choice but to do a hard restart. I know my graphics card is slowly going bad but I dont think this would cause the lockups.
Below is my system specs...any input would be appreciated. For security reason I removed the IP addresses form the diagnostic
