It's a little over two years old.
OK Cjlee was correct in the OS being corrupt will not (usually) cause frag. When you get frag are you getting the MSdash or the MS error screen or no video on the screen?

I get no video.
And it is definitely red and green, onot just red, orange and red, or red and green to solid red?
For the disk, some drives read better with many files ranther than just one large one. Also if you have ever recovered the OS from the HD you will need to disconnect the HD before running recovery.

It is 3 reboot then FRAG, with no video. In recovery mode, it goes straight to the recovery screen. I have a Thompson Drive. The chip shows red.
3 reboot frag is different than just frag. Try making the disk as I suggested abouve, also you may want to check continuity from the to of each pin to the bottom and clean the LPC. Pay close attention to pins 7, 8, 10, and 11 .
