Hi,
Please perform the following suggestions:
1. Please run the following command to check system files:
sfc /scannow
2. Run chkdsk
3. Use the System Update Readiness Tool to check and fix CBS related errors.
947821 Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista and for Windows Server 2008
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;947821
If the problem continues, please collect the following information:
1. cbs.log
2. System event log
3. When did this problem begin to occur? Did it coincide with any special events, such as the installation of some software or update?
4. Did the system ever work before?

Hi,
You mentioned "i installed new windows server 2008 ent. 3 times". Did you mean you reinstall the system for 3 times?
If so, I suspect there may be some problem with the installation disk (Based on my research, the only thing that would cause this problem would be a modified disk image or some sort of Windows activation crack somehow applied after Windows Server was installed). You can download the image from Microsoft's website or request it from your computer vendor, and then use the new installation disk to install the OS and check whether the same issue occur.
I also suspect there are some issue with your hard disk. If possible, please test the same installation disk on another computer to test whether the same issue continues.
