The issue *may* be hardware related ... either the system is overheating
or the RAM could be going or not seated properly; the CPU may be going;
the HD or NIC may be going.
When was the last time you cleaned out the tower and checked to see if
the fans were unobstructed ?
The issue may be related to the installed antivirus/security suite

Which AV/security suite is installed ?
Do NOT install any driver updates offered via Automatic Updates. Suggest
you visit the manufacturer's web site for any driver updates for hardware.
You state you did a 'system repair'. Perhaps you need to follow the
steps in this article:
Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from
Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a
Windows XP installation
