I'm seeking a little guidance on my problem, i have a computer that i built
that's been running Vista for 8 months. I have a few minor problems but
nothing major, until this weekend. Around saturday the computer started
having windows client failure of various types and a bunch of blue screens of
death. I tried everything i could come up with to trouble shoot, so this
morning i deleted the partion formatted the hard drive and reinstalled a
fresh install. Well guess what everything started again various client
failure and they are(Super Fetch, windows modules installer, windows
explorer, and microsoft software licensing service has stopped working). Also
a bunch of BSODs and they are(Drive IRQ not less or equal, memory management,
and Bugcode usb driver failures). So after all this i'm leaning toward a bad
hard drive, if anyone can give me a little guidance on what they might be
thinking it will be much appreciated!!!
 
Hi,

If you suspect the hard drive, then download a diagnostic tool from the
manufacturer. Run from floppy or CD, it will tell you the state of the drive
and whether or not it should be replaced.

And yes, I agree that you likely have a hardware issue. Make sure you run a
memory diagnostic as well (either the one in Vista, or downloaded from
oca.microsoft.com). Check your motherboard manual, as there may be
additional diagnostics you can run there as well.
