System Refuses To Boot After Working For Nearly Weeks?

Have a 4 system which after working for about 3-weeks past a fresh installation, suddenly starts one morning giving error of ‘corrupted system.sys’. Then it requires an OS re-install. This has happened for the third time now.
Have Win XP with SP2
Have always ensured that the system is shutdown properly.

    Could be a 100 reasons to why your pc is acting up.
    If your windows is a pirated version, Your hard drive is broken, overclocking ect.
    I would find the manual over the motherboard and reset the bios to factory settings and start from there.
    Make a clean format of your hard drive and re-install windows xp and a good antivirus program..i would recommend avg free to save you some money. Can be downloaded here http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
    If the problem persists you most likely have a hardware issue

    Boot to you OS cd, get into the recovery console. Run a chkdsk /p, if it comes up with unrecoverable errors, it’s a harware issue. Recoverable errors, run a chkdsk /r.
