OK, my pc has suddenly got really slow, in loading things. Ive had some blue screens too, without any consistancy in the error messages, mostly mentioning missing kernels.
Anyway. I tried installing a patch for a game yesterday, and it just stopped. I restarted, and there was no windows there, it got to bit where i enter my password, and it said it couldnt find the folder etc.
So today I reinstall everything, really carefully, and when it's installed the bloody thing just gets slower and slower loading anything. There doesnt appear to be any cpu usage, and no programs are doing anything much, it just wont do anything.
Then I restart it again, and get this error - WINDOWS COULD NOT BE START BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING FILE IS MISSING OR CORRUPT - WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
This is like, all of windows I think?
So, I suspected the hard drive was at fault, but Im not sure now, Ive tried it with an old hdd and it still wont load or anything. Of course Im not 100% sure whats on the old hdd, but I would have expected a different error at least. Any input folks?
System by the way is
core2 2.4
Asus P5B deluxe
7900gto video card
Samsung Hard Drive SATA
