hello, this is my first post here. ive searched the forums and couldnt find any info on my problem. 2 days ago i recieved a new customised build, specs are:
intel core 2 duo (e7600) 2.66ghz
2gigs of corsair xms2 pc6400 dual-channel ddr2 ram w/heat spreaders
xfx geforce 8500gt 512mb pci-e vc
asus p5n-e sli mainboard
western digital 500gb sata hd
soundblaster audigy se sc
lg dvd-rom/cd-r/cd-rw
x-dreamer case w/lcd temp display
apevia 680w beast psu
xp pro sp2
right off the bat i was having trouble installing programs, more specificly games and game updates...after 6 reformat/reinstalls of windows, same exact problem. medium and large installs fail 90percent of the time and when it does work the program dosnt work. windows reinstalls fine, but most program over 10mb in size gives me "install failed", "update failed", or "file is corrupt" when i just tried it on my other machine and it works perfectly. the most amazing thing is that every time it messes up, tech support keeps telling me to reinstall windows..guess what I DID 6x
ran hd and ram checks, both passed. i dunno if windows itself is messed up from the getgo or its hardware, not even sure if this was the correct section to post in but again i dont know where my problem lies. i really dont want to go through the trouble of sending it back when i waited so long for it already. tech support is no help.
thx in advance and if i didnt give enough info just ask and i wont hesitate to do so
