Hey guys , my pc had the Blue screen of death an died, really , a boot file got corruped an would not boot, called microsoft an they blamed either a virus , which i run scans, or a driver (vista) lol,
so had to wipe the drive an re-install, next day , pc blue sceens , says there is a video card hardware error, so i thought maybe it needs the ATI driver since only vistas standard driver is on there from the HDD wipe, so i put it on, restarted, pc wont start, called MS , decided to boot after 25 tries, removed the ati driver, pc crashed next day,,
got a new error an says that
windows search index stop worrking an

you just download the manufacturer's diagnostics tools for the drive and run them. Problems with the controller or media surface will usually turn up within a few testing cycles.
