Default OMG, this is F*&king ridiculous......

I just spent the last 5hrs formatting and reinstalling my PC. I had to copy the contents of MY DOCUMENTS folder to my second HDD, then wipe the primary drive, reinstall XP on it, and then reconfigure the PC with the running drivers and all the programmes etc that I use, then bus the stuff from the secondary drive back to the primary drive......

But in the last hour, I have had the "Blue Screen Of Death" twice!!!

I have only ever had this problem when I have had a problematic Bluetooth adapter installed on the PC, but I currently don't have it installed.

Also whats odd is that this time, it doesn't appear to be a hardware problem like the times before.........

THis time it said something about trying a different video card? But it didn't mention anything about a video card bieng the problem??? THe PC uses the stock on board grx card so it's not like it's a dodgy card that has been fitted either.........
It also said something abotu having enough disk space, which don't make sense as I have 55.8gb of free space on the primary drive and 76.3gb of free space on the secondary drive!

Things have been a bit weird tho, some things have taken simply AGES to work/load than they used to - even this page took ages comparred to normal before the little smileys n stuff began to work normally....

I dunno what the hell to do as it's not like I could reinstall the cure the problem, I just reinstalled and it CAUSED the problem by the looks of it!

Disconnect your second hard drive, then format and reinstall XP on the main drive

Thats what I did Dan. I copied all my documents, pics, etc onto the secondary drive, then disconnected it and reinstalled onto the main drive, then when it finished installing I copied my docs, pics etc back onto the newly installed main drive.

I got them twice last night (between 11:30 and 12:30) but I haven't used the PC today cos I'm at work, so I won't know till I get home this eve, boot up and see if they return.

I really don't wanna reinstall

It did say something about drivers aswell, but it didn't specify anything
