Well I'm pleased to report that everything is working ok now. I guess that's to be expected seeing as I formatted my HD and reinstalled Windows.

Cheating I know but even moving files around to back up was causing crashes and it was happening ever more frequently.

I've reinstalled the basics, no extra utilities from ASUS for the motherboard and have updated all my drivers with the latest. So far so good. I transferred 4Gb of data in one go, it took a few minutes but it did it without crashing!

I've also installed MSE as you have recommended - never knew about this.

Thanks for everyones help - it has been much appreciated.
