I'm seriously going to end up putting my fist into my PC

I have been having problems with an error message saying NTPS error. Then the
PC would freeze after about 5 minutes of it being running. Then I had a
message saying your system has recovered from a serious error. Now I can't
even get the PC to work. It turns on but there is no picture on the screen.
Any ideas?
 
Sorry I meant NTFS error, I have now got it working but I scheduled a system
check and it is doing that but it seems to have froze again. It has got to 4
of 5 21%
 
Hi, the PC froze when it got to 5% of 5 of 5. If I was to reboot the PC from
scratch would this solve the problem and would the PC stay running for long
enough to complete the reboot?
 
Boot with your XP CD in the drive. After it goes through the motions select R
for the repair console. Logon to XP and type chkdsk /r

If you ran chkdsk /r can it take a _very_ long time. The larger the
drive the longer it will take. I've seen it take nearly an hour on a
40GB drive.

In the meantime this might be helpful:

It sounds like you have hardware failure. There is no way for us to know
whether the "PC stay running for long enough...(sic)". I will guess
probably not, though.

Here are general hardware troubleshooting steps (which do not include
putting your fist into your PC):

Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts
with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are
uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).
