So you did re-install Windows and the same thing keeps happening? Did you format your hard disk before re-installing? If you have a way to back up all your data then format your hard disk and do a fresh Windows install, then before you install the service packs check the Control Panel and see if it's a service pack problem.

Also check your disk's fragmentation levels, do a defrag and a disk cleanup. Have you got any new devices attached, like a new printer or a scanner, network card, USB peripherals? Unplug everything that isn't necessary and see if it helps, then attach them one by one to perhaps narrow it down to a faulty device.

Seems like a lot of effort, I know, but it's better than forking out the money for a new hard disk if you don't need to. Keep us updated though!
