Thought I'd just give an update on this situation. Nothing I tried worked so I had to get someone out to look at it. After another reinstall of Windows (which didn't help), he tried disabling my media hard drives, wireless card, graphics card and had a good play about with the settings in the BIOS. Nothing worked.
Then he removed the motherboard battery which solved the problem. Have no idea what caused the problem but glad to say it's solved. Today is the first time I've seen your post wilywombat. I had previously read online that this might solve my problem but not wanting to mess around inside my pc with things I don't really understand, I didn't give it a go.
At least now I know where the battery is and how to remove it easily! Thanks to everyone who posted on this thread, much appreciated.
