I am having the same type problem with the boys computer....it will run for awhile and then crashes to where the op sys will not load and I get an error message, I bought a new hard drive thinking it would fix the problem and it worked for about 2 months, then I got a message saying that it was missing a file and couldnt start with out the disc, I rebooted and it says there is a hard drive error, so I reformatted and started all over and it will work for like a day and then the trouble starts again. Dawg and I were talking and he thinks I should unhook my second video card and see if it runs for awhile with just the onboard card, I havent tried that yet but when I do I will update you. He also mentioned that I might try putting the "bad" HD in my computer and seeing if I have the same problem, if i didnt then it isnt the hard drive and its something else causing the problems.
