Windows Error Report/Via Hyperion

[carolina1]

When i ran the setup .exc install for the Hyperion pkg it would not install and windows issued an error report stating that i have a serious problem . Device Manager is also saying that the VIA AC'97 Audio controller will not start due to a corrupted or missing driver . The day before it was a corrupted video controller . In short everyday there seems to be missing drivers , etc . All of this based on an attempt to update my sound drivers originally. Could this be a bios issue ? Upon reboot one problem disappears and another appears . My mb is a M7VIG 400 running windows xp with an AMD cpu socket A with integrated graphics . Any suggestions ?

Could be several things. Bad capacitors on the main board. A failing hard drive. Virus or spy ware infecting Windows.

Physically look at the main board in the area around the CPU for capacitors with bulging or leaking tops (visit Badcaps.net for pictures and info).

Run diagnostic software on your hard drive, this is available at the maker of the drive's website.

Run anti virus and anti spyware programs. I recommend AVG anti virus; and Spy Bot Search & Destroy and Ad Aware for removing spyware. They are all free.

Could also be memory failing, but not likely. You can do a Repair of your Windows install as well, but try the first few suggestions first. Chris.
