Yup, I'm running happily at 3.6ghz again just the way i should be. It was definitely a strange time, my first instinct was hardware instability, but i couldn't make it fail regardless of the torture tests i put it through on any of the hardware. The fact that it also seemed to be primarily windows affected (only froze the desktop/taskbar/internet explorer) seemed to point to some sort of software instability.

I do have one bit of advice though, if you're computer is used by other family members/kept in a common area, it may be wise to make separate accounts, like what my sister will be getting shortly as shes the one who downloaded the virus through limewire. Blackeyed Pea's did not release a song thats 134kb in size regardless of quality.
