Here's a good test of your skills...

hi

did u check the hard disk for bad sectors?
try restore the mbr.
clone the hard disk to another hard and do a factory restore.
and finally maybe the southbridge is failed.
 
Was there any antivirus such as Kaspersky installed on the machine? I uninstalled Kaspersky the other day on a clients computer rendering its USB support to malfunction. I had to resins tall Kaspersky and us the Kaspersky removal too. Also I have a network shared drive and host driver pack solutions, I would copy the entire folder to the clients computer ( because the program doesn't support running from unc paths) and try running it. Maybe it's an outdated driver?
 
Thanks everyone but I had to nuke it and reinstall. I ran out of time to try to repair it. I tried everything listed by everyone here but no cigar! It would've been much faster to nuke it from the start but I prefer to actually repair PCs. Its always a great learning process.
