I dont have linux on there anymore
That's why I suggested the live Ubuntu CD. It doesn't install anything.
If the problem exibits from Ubuntu, this will tell you if it's OS or
hardware.
This problem *did* start while you were using Linux, correct? That hints
that it isn't an OS problem.
i used a program to zero out the hard
drive from the manufacturer and decided i wont make it a dual boot system
Hence the live CD.
Is it any different with another hard disk?
Also, reset the CMOS. Unplug the system, remove the CMOS batterry, use the
CMOS CLEAR jumper. Be sure that the date goes back, to verify that it's
been cleared.

I had to format my computer's hard drive cause i was trying to learn
linux
fedora and it crashed rendering my system useless on startup
So this problem occurred while you were running a Linux version?
It sounds, then, like this is a harware problem, not related to any OS.
second im using
task manager to look at the performance tab, the reason i found it
wasnt
seeing my ram is because The sims said i had less then 64 mb i have 2
2gb
sticks and i hit ctrl-alt-del clicked performance and found i was only
using
a 2gb paging file and no ram i tried to diasable the paging file but
windows
opens it again
"
Again, if the problem is (or was) visible in both Linux and Windows, it
almost certainly has nothing to do with the OS but rather with hardware.
If you want to recheck with a Linux boot, make a Ubuntu CD.
www.ubuntu.org The Desktop CDs are bootable and you will be able to
verify
the system behaviour without modification.
Check in the BIOS to see what it says about the system. Power down,
remove and reseat the memory. Remove one stick, swap them around,
check
the results in the BIOS. Run a RAM test utility.
