First off, I'd attempt to eliminate hardware as a source of the problems before spending a lot of time reinstalling. Have you opened it up, reseated all the cables, cards, memory, and the like? Have you checked to see that the processor fan is running, and the heatsink is properly attached? If it has a system monitor utility, check the operating temperatures of the processor and see if it's in the 40's idling, any more and that's a potential problem.

Hey- thanks for the replies. I have had it open and all seems well. I don't have a monitor utility so can't check that. 
Drupy - pretty sure I didn't delete anything I shouldn't have. It was only 5 files or so anyway! All word documents. Because there is nothing specific setting it off its hard to check what may be causing it. Would you recommend disconnecting individual hardware devices and test the system to identify the problem?
Would it be nothing to do with the primary & secondary setup?

*UPDATE* Just discovered it hangs EVERY time I goto C:\Documents & Settings also everytime a program requires a file in here it says it cannot be found.
Not sure then what this means but don't think its very good!
