Hi I purchased this system from overclockers it arrived on friday and after installing a few games everything was working fine it then told me that it had some windows updates to carry out on saturday and after the pc restarting the updates kept failing and the pc was stuck in a loop for over an hour trying to apply updates failing an restarting before it finally loaded up the login page and i could access windows now nothing would open. I restred the pc and on it booting up it tells me to push F9 to access recovery or something this does nothing so I used the windows disk to reinstall windows. Am i now going to have lost my overclocked setting etc and is this the right way to have done it as im used to having boot disks etc???

If it seemed that screwed I'd have probably reinstalled Windows too, booting from the Windows disk as it sounds like you have done. As for the overclock, look at what it says during POST, go into the BIOS or use something like CPU-Z to check what it's running at.
Yes, by default the processor runs at a lower frequency when it's not under load, it's called SpeedStep. Give the processor some work to do and you should see it stay at 2.93Ghz for the duration.
