Hello, I bought computer 4 years. AMD ATHLON 2.4 GHZ. VIDEO INTEGRATED. 768 RAM. Motherboard - ASUS M2V-MX-SE. HDD - Samsung SATA2 200 GB After first year stable work I needed to reinstall Windows XP. As I discovered my HDD is on SATA bus I used NLite to pack Sata-drivers into XP-CD(Service pack2). After that I cant achieve stable work of my system. It crashes each second-third month after reinstalling. The main error Corrupted file in .../system32/config/system. I installed parralel OS - XP too and made reserve copy of this file. And each time I get this black screen with error I copy registry file(system) to proper folder and Win-XP revives. But its not the end. After short time it damages any file of system and show no error just black screen. This happens constantly. What I did: Check with antivirus DrWeb, Avira. Changed BIOS settings to disable floppy. Changed SATA bus header on motherboard. I tried to use Win7 but it had the similar problem, system crashed. Could it be NLite fault? or Something with hardware? Any ideas.
Of course no. I guess win7 has its own sata drivers cause installation is compliting well. But it crashes as Xp too after a few months. I suspect problems with hardware. I just did memtest - no errors.
it sounds like you are missing some files needed by windows,Have you tried a full version of XP ? You will probably will have to go through each hardware and test each one...First thing to check would be hard drive and Ram...
Trouble is that I cant use original XP-Service pack-2 because they haven't SATA drivers inside. And my HDD is only SATA.

It sounds like you need a new hard drive, There is a program called hard drive re generator, I have used in the pass... It works real good.. It will fix hard drive errors.. How old is your hard drive ?
I bought my computer in 2008 july. And it pretended to be new at that time.
