What bloatware were you uninstalling when the blue screen occurred?

Not sure what the problem is on your second restore:: You did a disk scan that...that failed? Do you mean chkdsk, or another program? And then System Restore failed? What issue prompted you to try a system recovery?

........
Windows detects all installed hardware. If you have a WLAN+WIMAX combo card, Device Manager shows the WIMAX device, whether you have installed the driver or not. If you want to completely lock it out so Windows never sees it, you can lock it in the BIOS.

So how does it run right after a factory restore, before you make all these changes?

it was the power4gear that blue screened my computer the first time
the second one it said something was blocking it on top of that my system restore points would not work
and now i just ran disk check then when that was down ran Sfc /scannow and still some corrupt things
also for the wilmax i used the Device manager to disable it the first time i restored even though it blue screened it my computer ran so fast right now its not and its almost like the internet/download speed has seriously decreased

If you aren't using WIMAX internet service, that device isn't factoring into the slow internet issue. But again, if you want it just gone, lock it out in the BIOS.

You keep getting so many disk errors....I really think you must conclude you have a bad hard drive and it's time to get it replaced. As I mentioned in another post where you were dealing with this before, the underlying media (the hard drive) has to be good, or the software installation will never be stable. You're spinning your wheels if you're trying to install to a bad drive.



  • If you haven't already, make a set of recovery DVDs ASAP. (You need that backup of your OEM installation, in case your hard drive complete craps out on you all the sudden. If your only copy is the recovery partition, you'll lose it for good when the HDD fails.)




  • Replace the hard drive. Whether you get your retailer or Asus to replace it, whether you buy a new one, or whether you have another HDD you can use, you need to install Windows to a drive that isn't spew all these disk errors.




  • Install Windows onto the new drive. Use the recovery disks to do a factory restore, or perform a clean Windows install. (Because you don't seem to want the Asus bloatware, I think a clean install sounds like a better idea for you, anyway.)
