SPECS:
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Mobo.
AMD X2 4400+ Cpu.
2G Corsair RAM.
XFX 7900GT.
74G SATA 10K WD Raptor HD.
750G SATA 7K Seagate HD.
Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy4 Pro
Lite-On Dvd Burner.
550W PSU.
PROBLEM:
After fresh install of Windows XP Pro with SP2 and all the basic necessary drivers, I immediately started to notice errors popping up here and there, but at first, it was nothing that was a hindrance. Temperatures were stable, as well. And by the time I got to installing software (Mozilla, MPC, etc.)...I was receiving *CONSTANT* Installation errors. This package was corrupt, that package had an error...obviously not a single software issue.
I gave it time. I tried enabling Windows updates. Nothing helped. The errors grew so frequent, the computer was essentially useless. I couldn't even browse the net for thirty seconds...
So, I formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows. It's only a few hours later, and the errors are creeping back already. I can't even open Windows Media Player, 'cause I get an immediate error. I tried running a registry cleaner (Abexo Free) but I suppose that didn't help much.
Where do I go from here? Should I obtain another copy of Windows and reinstall that? Is there some sort of update or utility that might remedy this problem?
Any guidance or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
