I don't know whether this is a bad sector on the hard drive or a software issue. I'm assuming formatting and starting fresh will fix the problem if it is software related, however if I could avoid this, that would be fantastic!! so 2 questions, is this hardware or software, and can I fix it without formatting? Thanks in advance, Dave

Ok I got this dvd burner, its a comstar, and it is not working correctly. When it burns it says the burn was completed successfully, but then it wont play in other computers/my dvd player and sometimes it wont even play in the dvd drive that wrote it! I have tried different media types and different software, I took the drive back and got a new one but now I am lead to believe that the problem is with my Windows? Could this be true and how would I go about fixing something like this?

Amd 64 X2 4200+ 939 Abit AN8 SLi 939 nForce 4 mobo 250 GB SATA SeaGate Geforce 7950GX2 OCZ PowerStream 600W PSU Ok guys, I'm really getting pissed at how many problems this computer has. Please read this and help! Istarted out with a Geforce 7800GTX and it worked fine with all games, the only problem was, I used to get corrupted textures in some games sometimes (artifacting) Then I returned it for a x1900xt and that worked fine also, but it overheated and again, artifacting... SO, I get a 7900GTX instead, this is where I get problems, I ran some games that I could with the x1900xt, and they would either give me an "encountered error needs to close" error at startup of game or just a crash with no error or anything. I read that the 7900gtxs had probs so I rma'd it to a 7950GX2 which I installed yesterday and what happens? You guessed it, games crashing without errors and such again, even oblivion wont work anymore. I have no idea what to do, PLEASE help!

I was going through my files deleting things I figured I didn't need. Well, turns out I deleted the program that I guess was my audio driver. I have been trying to figure out how to download a new driver but everytime I get a hold of a soundMAX program, it gets to the installation process but craps out, saying the dirver was not found. Like I said, I can't find a way to download the driver back into my computer. I can't stand not being able to listen to my music. PLEASE HELLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!

My PC has been crashing and people tell me to just do a clean reboot of the OS but when I try I keep getting the message that the version on my PC is newer than the one on the CD. I know that I've downloaded updates, hence the version on the cd is old, but I don't mind going back and updating it later. I just want to clean my system out and update it after i have installed XP. I have already saved the files I want to keep, so I dont mind the remaining clutter from being swiped clean.
