but this pc looks like has some problem.
problem 1: download some program from the web but when i run it it crash(i try the same thing in my notebook, it works fine), looks like theres something wrong with the cpu writing down the data(sorry i am newb to pc hardware)
problem2: sometime my pc can only show 1/2 of pic from the internet, another 1/2 of the pic just mess up
problem3: when i use install verson bittorret software to download file my pc will just restart itself.

what about video drivers? have you tried different versions? also, if different versions dont work, try to roll back to default xp video drivers and see if your problem continues.
