Ok...so my friend got a really bad virii, every time he opened something it would infect that file. He had a couple virii-scanners going on and it was popping up constantly catching every little file.
I told him to just format, and don't save anything. Of course he went against my judgment and decided to try and back a few things up. His explorer started freezing up on him and crashing...then the comp would restart on it's own, THEN...the usb ports died (mouse/kb quit working) and then it got to where it wouldn't boot. Upon startup it was one continuous beep for about 3secs and then again.
He called me, I had him reset the bios, pop the batt. out, and that got rid of the beep. But the DFI logo would freeze, couldn't get into bios and it had artifacts on screen.
I finally got hold of it, I switched out the ram and it fired right up. I took HIS ram and put it in my other system, and one stick is fried, the other is noticed about every other boot. I wiped out the HD entirely (took about 5-6hrs), re-partitioned his drive into x2 250GB and went to install windows...everything was going fine until it started copying files...it makes it to 8% EVERY time and just sits there. I have no idea what this file is (cpqdapd.sys) or why it freezes.
Would this be a mobo issue you think? I'm pretty much out of options here (look below for EVERY THING that i've tried)
Hardware:
DFI Lanparty UT SLI
Maxtor 500GB (partitioned into x2 250GB)
x2 1GB Crucial BallistiX (now replaced w/ x2 256MB Crucial Value)
BFG 8600GTS PCIe
500w Ultra psu
DVDRW
What I've Tried Thus Far:
Switched out SATA cables
Swtiched out DVD-roms
Moved HD to my pc w/ 8600 (installs past 8% just fine)
Ran tests on the HD, passed
0'd out the HD
Ran test on current mem, passed
