Okay, so I'm getting roughly the same errors as before. Could it be a problem with the controller?

I'll run a complete test of both RAM and HD, but seing as both have been replaced fairly recently, I'm thinking maybe that's not where the fault lies.

The only thing that so far you haven't tested/replaced is your motherboard. I hate to say it but it sounds like that's your problem.

See if you have a spare or a friend has a spare one that you could whack all your components into for a couple of days, see what happens.

Maybe borrow a friend's computer and replace all their bits with yours for a while, just to try a new motherboard.

Well, yes, but remember there were actual faults on all the things I've replaced... The RAM was faulty, the Harddrive had broken sectors and there was a burnt out chip (due to a grounding fault) on the graphics card. I guess I really should expect there to be something wrong with the mobo as well, that or possibly the processor. I mean, that would certainly fit the record.

I think the universe is playing a cruel joke on me :/

I feel.. so sorry for you. How long have you been without a fully functioning PC?! Maybe it broke because you always patronised me and teased me.. :p

Why thank you :P

I think it hasn't really been fully functioning at all. Well maybe for about 5-6 months when I'd just got my RAM replaced. Don't remember, really.

And, well, you started it, so nyah. :P

I did not! I was talking about life in Ireland and you were like "Well you're not really Irish" and went on to say that you were more Irish than me because you had an Irish Social Security number or something! The cheek! Well Mr. Doc J. Bot I have an Irish passport now, so nyah! :D

And as for Haven's message, we should play Civ 4! :D
