Default MY computer is being really wierd...

Ok, a week ago or so i booted up and got the dreaded "Windows cannot find NTFS.sys", which I fixed after a few hours of fiddling and swearing. After that, a few weird things have been happening.

1) all my Temp Sensors, Voltage Sensors, and Fan Sensors report 0 (Even in BIOS)

2) My Programs menu randomly shows all my programs on the list 3 or 4 times, making the list go beyond the edge of my sceen. right clicking and selecting Arrange by Name fixes this.

3) Windows Media Player doesn't work, just says "An Internal Player Application has occurred" (Not an overly huge problem, I just use Winamp)

4) Enemy Territory, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Quake III Arena all show "Could not initialize OpenGL Subsystem". I have reinstalled my Video Card drivers and Direct X (9.0c), however all other OpenGL dependant programs work 100%

5) Windows Update - "You must have a computer running Microsoft Windows in order to use Windows Update" (XP Pro, IE6)

6) Sygate Personal Firewall does not startup at startup, it is in the startup folder and in the startup section of the registry

7) Seems stable, unless I use InfraRed

No Virii, No Spyware.

I can't reformat, my XP CD does not Boot off the CD and my system won't boot off floppy.

Athlon 2100+
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe

Thanks
