LIFE SUX!!!!!! ARRRRGGHHH!!!

WARNING! EXPLICIT CONTENT! Reading this may cause depression!

My computer is dying. No, really, I'm serious. Something bad happened that I can't identify.

First, my video card started to malfunction. Horizontal lines, distroted screen and everything. I could not do anything about it. Updated the driver, directx, reinstalled the OS, scanned with NAV, tryed every troubleshooting advice I could get. No nothing....
Then suddenly the card started working again with no apparent reason(not that I wasn't happy about it).
For a few days, everything seemed to be in order again...

THEN IT STARTED!!!

One morning I turned on my comp. Started booting, "Detecting IDE drives..." OK, stat screen OK, then when it reached "Verifying DMI Pool data..." (right when the OS starts to load) it freezed. Reseted, then again it happened, but now with colorful letters all over the screen.
Okay, I re-installed WinXP AGAIN (Damit). During the "Checking Hard Dirves" phaze, the indicator freezed at 75% for 2 hours. I fed up and restarted, formatted drive C, then started again. It worked.
But when I first got in to the desktop, I discovered that the WinXP got installed in E: partition. My C: drive was another partition.
This is just the peak of the iceberg.
SOMEHOW almost 3/4 of my files got corrupted! (DAMN) No classification. Programs, RAR, ZIP, pictures, CD images, everything!!! If I try to launch a program it displays an error "The program doesn't fit in the memory" or something else. The archives say "The file is corrupted" and the CD images corrupted too. The images simply don't display. MOREOVER, my DOCUMENTS got corrupted. I opened my novell then I saw 1244 pages of nonsense($˘^ü5~RI‚ˇand like that).

AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

Your HD is broken. Probably the video card is about to stop, also. I had these horizontal lines with my old card, too. It stopped, then came later again. Permanently this time. All you need is to replace these two.
