Hi,
I'm having a lot of problems with a new computer that I bought.
The specs:
Proc: Amd Athlon X2 4200+
Mobo: Asus M2N-MX
Gfx: Geforce 7900 GS
Memory: 2 GB ddr2 533 MHz
HD: Seagate 320 GB sata-II
I installed Windows XP Home SP2 (on a 60 GB partition), then installed all the chipset drivers on the mobo cd, then the graphics driver. After this was completed I plugged in the network and downloaded alla fixes and additional software from updates@microsoft. Somewhere after the fifth reboot (I think after installing the security patch for .net 1.1 sp1) I get a message saying: "One of the files containing the system's registry data had to be use of a log or alternate copy. the recovery was succesful." From here on everything deterioates. I get errors every time I run chkdsk and eventually some critical file is corrupted so that the computer wont start.
I have run memtest and seagates disk test for a long time without detecting any problems. I have installed XP at least 10 times now and am getting a little frustrated. Could anyone give me a clue to what's going on? I have returned the computer to the store but they installed XP once and said that it was no problems...
Best regards,
Mattias
