Well I just got a new Case, Mobo, PSU, CD/DVD drive..
im using my old videocard, HD, RAM, floppydrive...

2.4 ghz
1gb ddrpc266
radeon 9800 pro 128

now im having trouble whenever I go to play certain games
so far I know my computer will completely crash when I try and open warcraft 3 or halo, diablo2 works fine.. lol..

I have windows XP sp2 fresh reformatt(twice cuz it crashed before and still doin it so i think its hardware related)

i did a benchmark test that came with my drivers
my results are a score of 2382 vidcard clocked at 378/337

i scored right below a X1600XT AMD 2.5 (581/684)----2671
then me with a score of 2382
then i scored right above a X1600PRO AMD64 2.3 (500/387)----1786

i think the reason for the crashes is due to having a bad sector on my HD? any advice?

Go to Start, All Programs, Accesories, Command Prompt and type;

chkdsk c:

Type this exactly like I have put above.

CHKDSK is verifying security descriptors <stage 3 of 3>...
security descriptor verification completed.
correcting errors in the volume bitmap.
windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /f <fix> option to correct these.

0 kb in bad sectors.

...? -.-

I just ran a Check Disk (chkdsk) and this is what it came back with, look at it carefully.
