Can't find anything on the Microsoft website, so I figure I'd ask you all! Maybe someone's had this happen, or know's the best place to ask for support. Maybe Andy will know.
Basically, after a few hours use, Windows suddenly just stops working. It'll open Internet Explorer, but it won't load any pages, just 404 them. Same thing for Outlook. Windows Live Messenger then stops sending & receiving, but usually a couple of minutes or so after IE has stopped. (I'm not disconnected from the net at any point, my 360 stays on fine.) If I try and play a video, Windows Media Player will open the file, but if I skip ahead in the file, it crashes. Sometimes it won't open at all. Sometimes any program I try and open meets with an error (which the MS site was useless at helping with).
A restart fixes it all, and it works fine for another few hours. Weird thing though - when I shut-down usually, I get a full screen blue "Windows is shutting down" thing, but when I shut-down after the problem has occured, I just get a small grey box in the middle of my screen instead saying the same thing.
I've virus checked, spyware checked, and nothing was found. I thought Worms 4 was the culprit, but uninstalling that had no effect whatsoever.
Any advice would be appreciated.
