What did the blue screen with text say? I think you're infected with

SmitFraud.

I was on this site this morning to checking a reply, I went to move my
cursor
and got 3 or 4 bold lines next to the cursor and my system froze. I
rebooted,
signed in and my screen went black, then a quick flash of a blue
screen with
text,and back to balck in a blink, then rebooted on it's own, so I
tried to
boot into safe mode on both mine and administrator accounts with the
same result.
I just finished a clean install of XP Home with SP2 on that drive
Thursday!
To say that i am fit to be tied is an utter understatement. Since
purchasing
the XP Home with Sp2, I have had to do repair and clean installs at
least 6
times! That's since Dec. 2005. fortunately, I have 2 HD's, so I'm
using the
backup now.
I haven't done anything with the primary (crashed) drive, just
praying that
I don't have to do yet another install.
Any suggestions?
I have spent the last 4 days trying to keep this system running.
I have an AMD Sempron 3100+ with a gig of ddr sdram pc2700, a
gigabyte motherboard with award bios from 2005.

Although it is possible that the OP is infected if he does not practice
Safe Hex, it sounds far more likely that all these issues are
hardware-related. If the machine works fine with the replacement hard
drive and not the other one, then the other hard drive is probably
failing. If the machine does not work well with the replacement hard
drive, then I would definitely do other hardware testing such as RAM
and power supply tests. Here are some general hardware troubleshooting
steps:

The newness of the hardware is irrelevant; in fact if hardware is going
to fail it will usually do so fairly quickly or go for years. Testing
hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts with
known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are
uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).
