Recentely I bought a new "self build" PC with the following hardware:

-ASUS a8n5x motherboard
-AMD 939 3200+ CPU
-ASUS 7800GS 256MB PCI-E Graphics
-Hauppage PVR-500 MCE

I installed Vista x64 Ultimate and everything worked fine, bit afther about
4 days the system becomes very slow in booting and eventually gives a
0xc00000e9 error. I reinstalled the complete PC, but again afther 4 days this
error! Does anyone have am idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks for any response,

Well, first question, which I would like to confirm is where you are
getting your motherboard drivers from? I've called Asus support as I
too have a machine with an a8n board in it. They offically say that
their board is not Vista compatibile and will give you quite a bit of
lip about it. So their drivers are mostly XP drivers. However, I
believe most of the a8n board uses nforce4 drivers and chipset drivers
for the nforce4 are available from Nvidia's website.

If you update your chipset drivers for the latest Vista compatible
drivers and consider updating your Bios to the latest version it may
help resolve some of these issues. Also try looking for an common
factor regarding what happens at about that time? Perhaps a bad driver
being downloaded via Windows Update and windows checking for updates
the first time when schedule on say ...Tuesdays? 4 days after you
installed your os on Friday? Just a 'theory'.

I'd suggest bios update + nforce4 chipset drivers from nvidia's
website. I'd suggest the nforce4 chipset drivers first imho.
