Unable to install drivers.

Evenin'

quick back story before the issue, so you can follow what the issue is.

My stepdad bought a BenQ Joybook R43 whilst he worked in Qatar, it had Vista installed, and ran slowly, and eventually crashed and was unable to boot.

I wiped the HDD, formatted it and installed XP onto it, and downloaded the XP drivers for it, from the BenQ Middle East website.
All was fine and has been working with no issues for over a year.

Its crashed again, and unable to boot.
First we tried to repair windows with the disk. It froze at 33 minutes, no progress for 7 hours.
Then we opted for a clean install, wiped and formatted the HDD, and installed windows, it froze at 33 minutes again.
The disk was removed, then put it back in, it continued to install.


Now, here's the issue.

Downloaded the drivers again from the BenQ Middle East website for XP.

None of them will install, they either fail, or freeze.
XP also runs ridiculously slow and becomes un-responsive from time to time.

So,
Does anyone have an tips for me to get the machine working?
Or is it on its way out?
