Are the problems that you are having software related? As in Windows issues? Repair on XP is okay, but often times it runs for a couple of hours and fixes nothing. Manual repairs are easy if you have a specific error message or issue.
If this is hardware related, run your Resource CD in your system. The 32-bit diagnostics will start and will give you options to run various versions of the diagnostics (ie: Extended). Run the Extended test, it will take a bit but will show you any problems that might be on your system.
Good Luck!

There are two repair options in XP. The built-in self repair is easiest to use. Here's how:

You can go to my computer and select the repair option when you start up. From http://fixit.in
