Well i think i finally figured out whats wrong with my pc. I think my HD is going out. Its a WD 80 gig HD. BOught it last year. THis saturday as i was trying to load up UT2004 it crashed on me twice. It said "back up files immediately, failure is immenent" or something like that as i restarted it, that was from the Smart Scan before windows loads up. Then i tried to go into Safe mode and it didnt alow me, it just froze. I also cannot delete the 5 gig folder of UT2004 that was created but never finished. Any ideas? I"m gonna back up my stuff on a few dvd roms that my friend gave me alogn with his external dvd burner. I found these new HD:
WD 160 HD


DVD Burner


What do you guys thinK? also any ideas on the HD issue? i checked with new egg and it says 3 year manufactuer warrenty, so i'm gonna try and claim taht, if not i'll try and get an RMA from newegg though it has been 14 months sincei bought it.
