Hey all.

About last week I formatted to try to solve some problems I was having with Windows Xp, I ran the boot from cd, deleted the partition and formatted to Windows Xp Pro Sp2.

The install was clean with no flaws, however now whenever I reboot I get told their is a S.M.A.R.T error *see screenshot*

This is annoying, I have run a full scandisk at startup with a scan for bad sectors etc included, and not a single error has been found.

additionally I game allot on Battlefield 2142, and have noticed about 6 BSOD's with varying errors.

So far I rolled back my drivers * using drivercleaner* to the default Msi ones which come with my card, however tonight I got yet another one while in BF2142, yet I don't get them with my others games ( fs2004, HL2 and Halo and STBC )

Some help and advce would be handy here as it is driving me up the wall and I dont have money to spend on this computer right now as I am working on this house and getting a shower fitted.
