Right i have fixed my problem well i thought i did

- I run memtest86 + Seagate's hard disk software, to see if enything was wrong and it passed the tests
- updated BIOS
- Disabled floppy in BIOS ( I dont have a floppy )
- re-installed windows

Thanks David334

Do the problems start as soon as the machine boots into windows for the first time? Is the disk you are using customised?

Yep everytime i log it in happens

What do you mean by customised?

Like themes? i only use windows MCE Theme ...
