I think my PC is Dying!

So over the past few months i have been having ALOT of trouble with my PC. I Will  start from the beginning, i was running windows XP, and the PC crashed, then when i tried to turn it back on, it took about an hour to load and boot windows and completely start. After that the pc would constantly freeze/crash and i eventually reformatted, and installed windows all over again. I was good for awhile and about a week and a half later the same problems happened again, long boot times, crashing, freezing. So i decided to install windows Vista, i installed windows vista and everthing was running great, i mean really great, and last night i was on my computer, i restarted it after uninstalling a game, and when it turned back on, i would go to do something, everything would freeze, and about 30-45 seconds later, everything would load up ( say i opened my computer, it would freeze, and after a long wait, my computer would pop up) and it did that ALOT, like seriously every 10 seconds. I am about to throw this PC out the window, i spent alot of cash for alotta problems =/ When i first bought the PC it had problems, sent it back 3 times, they considered it a lemon, and said they would build me a new PC, get the PC back with same Video Cards, and hard Drives, been fighting all these problems for months and im just about fed up, im not a computer sepcialist so i cant just up and fix all this myself

i dont recommend installing an operating system on an external HDD.

Hmm...could be a heat issue...

Sorry i havent answered all day and im glad so many posted, I use Mcafee 2009 for my antivirus software, yesterday i noticed a process called Csrss.exe, and im not sure if that was causing the constant freezing, what do you think?

well i reinstalled windows, thinking that would be the best idea, Reinstalled with windows vista 64 bit ultimate (silly me) Went to go install my motherboard drivers (asus m2n4-sli) and it says kernal mode cannot execute, so i install my graphic card drivers, and then my audio drivers, reboot, and i get Windows failed to start error

yeah, very =*(

after trying to repair to fix the Startup error, it wouldnt fix so i reinstalled, again, and now im getting errors on install, it keeps disk checking and giving more errors, im thinking about just paying the money to bring it to a shop around here

no luck, think im going to call tomorrow and schedule a pickup if i can, only problem is i lost my binder!

okay well last night, when i thought it was working, it installed windows, went to reboot to finish and it said
BOOTMGR is missing?

okay, well my hope for not having to send this thing back is getting less and less =(

I would also recommend using our Message System: http://www.digitalstormonline.com/sendmessage.asp

This will allow you to set a time frame to call you back and so fourth.

oh yeah, and i have the Asus M2N4-SLI, if anyone knows where to get the drivers 

under bios look for " Version 1002" and download that
