So I just spent another day reinstalling Windows and various other things. I just did the same thing about… 2 weeks ago. There were some file corruption problems for some reason that prevented Windows from booting up. It would begin to start up then reboot repeatedly. I’m leanings towards it being a problem that apparently exits with the newest version of the nVidia chipset drivers and version of the BIOS on the motherboard. I updated my BIOS just after reinstalling Windows so hopefully the problems will go away for good this time. This still doesn’t totally explain why I was having problems before as I was using an older version of the chipset drivers that should have worked fine with the BIOS. I was also using an older (still free) version of FRAPS that apparently caused file corruption problems when used with latest ATI Catalyst drivers. There’s still a problem with that explaination because while that explains the problem I was having since yesterday when I first reinstalled FRAPS but doesn’t really explain the problems I was having before. I’m currently attributing that to my Maxtor hard drive. That may change though if when I get around to sending it back and Maxtor tells me it’s fine.
That probably doesn’t mean anything to most people reading this but that’s ok because I don’t think anyone is actually reading this just yet
