have a Asus a8ne, Antec neo 430psu, 1 gig mushkin green ram, WD 74 raptor, liteon dvd rom, Nec dvd burner, amd64 3200 cpu, and a ATI AIW 9600, with a new copy of WXP home with sp2.

At first every time I tried to install the os, I would get a dll errors saying that files where corrupted or missing. I started to think it was my lite on, but the nec had the same trouble. I eventually got the os to load- windows xp home with sp2.
I then tried a little oc and could not boot as files where missing.

I finally did a full reinstall tonight, all programs updates etc. At times I would get a fast blue screen that was there to short of a time to read. I would get that screen every time I rebooted. I uninstalled a never version of AIW media center and then all was good.
I then used the asus optimizing program without a glitch until the test was over. I clicked on save and I began the eternal loop of rebooting, just getting to the windows screen and then getting a error message that says "stop registry file failure, the registry cannot load the hive file system root\system32\config\software\ or its log or alternate it is corrupt, absent or not writable. Beginning dump of physical memory"
What is going on here? I have the sata in the # 3 slot.
Is the mb bad? Is my copy of windows bad? Do I have something wrong on the board?
This is driving me nuts, this is the second night in a row I stayed up all night working on this.

If you have more than one stick on memory try one at a time. If you can, try doing a format of the HD with a boot disk and see if any errors like bad sectors or something come up.

Sounds like your system is overheating, or otherwise suffering from not enough juice from the PSU. I would disconnect one the DVD or the DVD Burner, open up the case, and go into the BIOS and ramp everything down to stock speeds. Then, after you reinstall the OS, get motherboard monitor or speedfan installed and determine what your CPU temps are and what your PSU voltages are (+3.3V, +5V and +12V).
