SEMI-OT: Reinstall DB software as a fix?

I'm having the Micro$oft Month From Hell here. Apparently, one of our new production SQueaL Servers is so confusingly hosed that MS Support is recommending a complete reinstallation of SQueaL Server software. All of the pretty bling surrounding the DBs (e.g. SSIS) randomly fail with increasing frequency and severity to the point that our Analysts can't even run packages anymore. We've also had "minor" correctable DB corruption already on this new server (yes, we've checked for h/w issues).

Has anyone ever had to reinstall Oracle due to severe issues like this? Granted, I've purposely not run Oracle on Windows due to the mysterious entropy that seems to plague software on all versions of Winders I've had to deal with.
