Zero fill the disk, then run manufacturer's diagnostics on it. Make sure you don't have a bios antivirus running on the motherboard.

If you don't have a floppy drive, download the CD .iso version and burn it. You will need burning software that's capable of burning images, you don't just copy the .iso to a CD.
