My computer exploded this weekend. Literally, it's in pieces all over the family room floor. Now, it's true that I pulled these pieces out but it's only because my computer kept freezing. ARG!!!

I've been troubleshooting my PC for a while now. I typically get it stable for about 3-4 months at a time and then something goes wrong. This last time it was, I believe, a result of multiple power surges that corrupted my boot drive. I thought I might be able to solve this by installing a new OS. I put Vista on there (which was actually pretty easy). Unfortunately that didn't fix my problem. After about 10-15 minutes of use it would freeze up.

So I swapped out the hard drive. I had a spare 500GB lying around so I put that sucka in there and went to install Vista again...about 10 minutes into the install I got an error message and now I can't even boot off of the DVD-ROM.

LRDTM not found...uhh oh :(

More troubleshooting this week.
