I\'ve now removed SP2, too many bugs for my likes. It started to randomly freeze my machine again aswell as other programs starting to play up.
Thought it may have been bad ram, done a 5 hour memory test. (its overkill) and not one problem.. stupid sp2. Don\'t bother with it, wack in sp1a, windows update it and you\'ll have a machine thats more likely safer and bug free then sp2.
