It seems I have to go through a serious of reboots to get my computer going. It will always go through bios but then it usually freezes in a black screen or gives a read boot disk error. On the reboot it will sometimes repeat or go through the XP login. It usaully freezes while it loads the settings. On the next reboot it will load my settings and I'll have my backround and everything but it freezes. It usually boots fine the time after that. Any ideas on why this happens or how to remedy it????
Thanks

I've been using antivir and I tried the programs suggested but there are no errors or bad programs to be found.

what's the PSU? IF that is the power supply, it's a 550W OCZ power supply that is also new(1 year old).

The hard drives are new(1 year old and 1 month old). I had to reformat them and there was problems with the boot record before that, that was why I reformatted and reinstalled them.

it's actually a 620 W power supply. I'm not familiar with the "per rail" in regards to amps.

after running chkdsk this popped up

The type of the the system is NTFS
Cannot lock current drive

chkdsk cannot run becasue the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? <Y/N>

I used the diagnostics that came with the HD

I did the scan on the next bootup and nothing it found nothing.

if a hard drive is corrupted is there a way to correct it?
