Blitz.. I did a quick format on a system once, and it lasted for about 3 weeks. I would then get random shutdowns, files lost.. Just random crap. Reinstalled XP Pro, (nothing else changed) and did a full format.

System is still up and flying 5 months later.. Not 100% that was the problem, but I have heard of it being referred to as "living on borrowed time". However, I would recommend doing a full format if he is going from FAT 32 to NTFS..
