I'm asking for a huge favor. Can anyone PLEASE check if there can be any incompatibilities with these hardware? Coz my computer is constantly having problems:

Intel Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz
512 MB RAM PC 400
ASUS P4P800-X Motherboard
Radeon 9800 SE AGP 8X
Seagate Disk Drive ST380011A 80 Gigabytes
D-Link DFE-530TX LAN Card
Samsung CDRW/DVD

I'm really sorry but I'm not good in this. Plus I'm constantly busy. A huge thanks in advance.

Plus I'm constantly busy as to research the incompatibilities with these hardware? We're constantly busy helping others and yet we have time for our own needs.

All that hardware should be perfectly fine together. We cant really help you unless you are a bit more specific, What problems? If you give us an example we could help. It could be anything at the moment, bad ram, weak PSU, overheating, dying HDD...etc etc..

I apologize for my somewhat rude comment. My computer is bought from a local store where I gave them the specs I want and they just gathered the parts to suit the specs. The computer was bought in May 2005, and numerous times my software got corrupted. Heck even one time all I did was update counter-strike:source and download windows updates. Then when I restarted comp, BAM, Windows could not start because the following file was missing or corrupted... bla bla...

So anyway, only recently, I got a new hard drive (free too yay) with still the same model and brand. That problem I previously stated hasn't happened now but now I got the blue screen of death, and my evil problem of the 5 options at start of windows (which can be found in Windows XP Forums).

Also last time I repaired my Windows, it took like 9 hours. Approximately 4 hours from the time it said Finishing Installation; remaining time 9 minutes.

I'm pretty busy .... but if your computer ran well before your software got "corrupted", chances are that your problems are software related and not hardware related.

If you purchased in May 2005, your vendor may still support your hardware/software ... unless they are pretty busy.

I have PC-Cillin 2005 Internet Security (updated constantly) and Windows Defender. The corruption may be true, however the corruption has happened far too many times over the past 10 months. I have no clue of what I'm doing to cause it! Shut down properly, yes. Power shortage or shut down... no. Virus or spyware infection, no.
