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.

I have been getting random BSOD's titled APC Index Mismatch. I can not attribute it to any specific activity. Please advise best route to correct this.
Thanks for the help!

Then I started to experience BSODs...
What a mess! I get this message while in Windows Live Mail.
As of late my computer loads very slowly. From start up to going on line. Terribly slow.
I did an upgrade from Vista. On a Dell laptop.
