File System Crashed??? HELP!!!
Hello, all! I have a serious problem thats becoming critical! My system has been automatically shutting down during boot, completely off! After about 4 times it will complete boot and run, even games!
Ive run many virus and spyware scans and all seems well. Only two things changed just prior to this phenomenon, I updated the Asus A8N-E BIOS from 1010 to 1013, I adhered to the Asus requirement to updat the Chipset to v6.65 or later prior to this update(Hence the title). I then installed and ran, for one day, F@H(I Dare Say)! F@H has since been removed and I reflashed the BIOS to the original 1010. This has been going on for a few days now and at this point my programs are beginning to do strange things. Ive had to re-authorize my computer to play my iTunes music and most of my Windows Media Player Licences need to be re-aquired! Also, my "Start, Programs" folder are beginning to shoe Items that I am certain that I have removed/deleted. (I did run System Restore without success..."system cannot be restored to selected point, no changes have been made to the system.) I hope this is not too long but I hope it is informative. Please, any suggestion will be welcomed!

Asus A8N-E v2.00 BIOS 1010 Chipset 6.8 New
Athlon64 x2 3800+ Manchester New
OCZ4001024PDC-K About 2Yrs
EVGA GeForce 7600GT PCI-e New
Enermax Noisetaker 420 PSU About 2+ Yrs
All voltages and speeds are stock (recently due to problem)
Im thinking the above problem occured even running memtest86 booting into DOS. The Win NTFS File System isnt even loaded, heh? Could this be the PSU? This thing is going to be the death of me!
Try resetting the BIOS to defaults using the jumper on the motherboard (ask how if you're not sure), then go through each page making sure that everything is set correctly. Again, feel free to ask if you're not sure of something.
Good luck.
OH, ONE HUGE APOLOGY TO F@H AND SHORT-MEDIA TEAM #93, JUST TRYING TO BE AS THOROUGH AS POSSIBLE!
Thanx, again for your help, Ill let you know what's what.
