Well, it looks like I need to buy a new hdd...

[winterfreshpwnz]

I have tried just about everything and now my comp is just more messed up. I tried everything possible to reformat and it only made my comp worse in ways I can't really explain. Let's just say I've gotten to the point where the only way I can truly get rid of all this and start over is to get a new hdd. And on top of that, I still have my ram problems and I don't even know how I'm supposed to tell my dad all this. I'm not a very happy person right now...

EDIT: BTW, thanks to everyone who tried helping me.

The ram can cause alot of problems and you might find it's not the drive. Though I'd get a new drive just to make sure. Prices are dropping!
