I can't get into Windows, so I can't try it...
I was told last time I had a very similair problem, that it was the HDD, so I bought a new one, Which is the one I'm using now.
Haha, That was a post to Jim, He beat me by like seconds

Yeah, I have my Vista CD... I'll try that, Thanks. If that doesn't work too, I'll try a re-format...
Not looking forward to getting a new MOBO and trying to get my OEM Vista on it...

reinstall, if that doesn't work download ihavethepassword from somewhere
burn it to cd, boot from it.
then select slim rescue disk.
and then run pccheck
you can check your mobo, cpu and some other stuff with that program.
the ihavethepassword disk also includes a program to scan your hd for bad clusters.
i really don't know if this bootcd is freeware or shareware or something you'll have to pay for. it's being distributed through the torrent protocol. I kind find anything close to an official homepage or something.

Ok, I'm trying to re-install and I can't...
I boot from CD, It does that grey bar, 'Windows is loading files'...
Once it has done that, it gets to the green loading bars (just like the ones after boot) and it BSOD's... Even though I'm not booting, I'm trying to load the Windows DVD!
STOP: 0x00000024
Ntfs.sys
Viper, I'll check that program out, thanks!

you could also try installing xp to another hard drive. then recover the data from the old drive.
after that you can format the disk and try to get it working again. it could just be the ntfs file structure or ntfs drivers that are causing this.

sometimes it just are the last things you expect. When i got this build i transferred a 2 months old hard disk. And it suddenly just came up with random errors. Not being able to transfer data and other things.

You sure you got yourself a good Barracuda? The comments on newegg say there's a 50/50 chance of you getting a bad one. I think I remember seeing one person writing how they bought 6 or something and 2 only ended up working. It's half put me off the barracuda. Hah Hah, pun not intended.
