That's what i thought too, but this problem is really doing my head in so i'm not excluding anything.

I remember someone posting about the residual charge somewhere it was relevant, but I can't remember what it was.
From the effects, I can't tell what part of the computer is causing problems. I guessed it might have been the RAM but you daid you swapped that. I'd take it to a computer shop and ask them to test everything, because it is most likely hardware related.
I ran a memorytest wich showed nothing. I have not replaced nor swapped the RAM after talking to some ppl askin if RAM gets read in a certain sequence...like f.e. first what's in slot 1, then slot 2...

Luckily most of my stuff is on the secondary harddrive. All i have on C: is Windows and installed programs. Documents, installationfiles etc. are all on the second harddisk.

Not that i know of, i only delete registrykeys if i'm absolutely sure they are not needed anymore. It would also not explain why at the beginning the problem occured like once every two weeks then every few days and now daily.
My thoughts still go towards the RAM, but i can't possibly go buy some ram sticks just for the purpose of testing. That's why i'd like to know for sure what is causing all this.
