I spent all night, finally got it to load Windows, just to find out that the System process was hogging whatever core it was attuned to. I was going to go buy a copy of Vista (because I haven't been able to find my copy since the day I installed it, like a year ago), but Cierra informed me that my copy of Win7 would be showing up soon, so I waited.
The night before it showed up, I figured out that putting the computer in sleep mode and then waking it up fixed the issue temporarily (until I restarted it.) So, I said screw it, backed everything up, and waited for Win7 to show up.
Got it last night, reformatted, and then installed the new OS...problem was still there. I trying to systematically break it down to what component was causing it, but the problem was the three I had left were essential: processor, motherboard, and hard-drive.
Anyway, my dad loaned me his extra hard-drive (which is total crap, because his "little" hard-drive is only about 20GB smaller than my main hard-drive lol.) Reformatted and installed again...viola! Problem solved.
So, tomorrow I'm ordering a TB hard-drive and waiting for that to come. Until them I'm just going to play around with the design for my game.
