You didn't format the HDD yourself? If this a clean install, it certainly sounds like something wrong, most likely either with the reinstall or a hardware problem.Luminouslight

my uncle did it he has done it for me everytime, could it be ram i just bought a 1gb of ram about a month ago they worked fine till now if thats the case

Well, if you want to determine if the RAM irmine if the RAM is at fault, then it would be s at fault, then it would be best to boot memtest off a floppy or flash drive. However, I generally chase after software problems before I start looking into hardware faults.
