That's what I'm beginning to worry about. On the first machine, after trying several 
times and then finally getting the OS in, whenever I tried to go into the Media Center, 
I would get an error message saying that the video card was not compatible with this 
OS. It was a little ASUS 64MB DDR card, and the OS was still running but shaky. Once 
I put a decent video card in, everything ran beautifully.

I'm thinking maybe the hard drive, but how to tell w/o having to exchange it?
