First off, what was your problem that forced you to wipe your hard drive?
Here are some things to keep your comp in shape.
when you format the hard drive, do you choose the quick format option or the full format option? From now on, choose the full format. This option automatically detects the bad sectors and tells the system to not use those sectors. No need for another program from the net.
nope, I always do the full format. time is not an issue with me.
Spyware might be causing a problem. Microsoft Antispyware is looking good as an antispyware program.
as i said, i rutenly check for spyware with more than one exelent program, but i'll look into the MS program
Try gettting updates for your motherboard BIOS, which is usually from your computer manufacturers website. Update other things such as video card drivers, other drivers, other software, OS, etc. this seems like a tedious task, but it can sometimes be as easy as a few downloads and reboots.
i have the latest bios and drivers for everything.
If your comp is an old junker, TIME TO UPGRADE!!!
it was, then i got a new harddrive, motherbord, processor, ram, oh hell, i've replaced the whole goddamn thing
