A. Virus

B. Hard drive is failing

either way the file system is failing

solution new HDD and fresh install

I'm going to try a fresh install, my uncle has Windows XP so I'm going to try installing it. As for a new HDD, I've put over 500$ in repairing this peice of crap every time it breaks down. I myself don't know how to build a computer and such (I know really odd for a nerd not to know this stuff). So I always sent it to London Drugs to get it fixed. If I have to buy any more parts or pay for anymore repairs I'm gonna freak.

Also sadly I am in debt over 1,200$ right now and only make 500$ a month. So buying a new HDD or a new computer are both pretty much out of the question right now. Lets hope I can do a fresh install.

I hope its not the hard drive. But the computer is 5 years old I've already had to replace the graphic's card, fan and something else which  cost me like 200$. I am so sick of computers, my consoles don't break down all the time, this is why I'm not a PC gamer.

try fresh install over existing HDD first before worrying to much. thats why I put virus as A instead of B. a fresh install should work, and whatever anti-virus you were using drop it. AVG Free and SpyBot are the way to go.
