Ok, I just bought this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883227146

Booted up fine, loaded up all of microsofts updates. Played Battlefield Heroes great. Was playing COH fine for about 2 hours then the blue screen of death. Thought maybe CoH just locked up, no problem. When i reboot I get this message. Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart
2. choose your language settings and click next.
3 Click repair you computer.

File: /windows/system32/config ig/system
Satus: 0xc00000098
Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt.

So I put in the recovery disc (No hard copy of vista came with computer) and it trys to load then I'm back to the above message again.

I put in a new hard drive and still the same. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I really dont want the hassle of sending it back and waiting god knows how long before i get it back. Thanks again

Considering that there is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 in what I consider to be too small of a case with lacking airflow, I wouldn't be surprised if your hard drive got baked.

Edit: Oh forgot. I would send it back for a full refund. If you are either unwilling or unable to do that, make sure to put fans in the next case that will MAX OUT the airflow.

Also on a note of personal preference (meaning purely optional), I would stay away from a TB drive as your system drive. If you can't/won't change to another drive then take the 1TB one out, slap it in a enclosure to make it a backup drive, and put in a Velociraptor.
