It seems that the patch update wasn't nice.
I downloaded it last night, everything seemed fine until just now where Skype and Visual studio would crash, the event viewer crashed once as well.
Although FF and Outlook wasn't affected, it might not be related at all though.
Anyway, it created a restore point when I installed it so I reverted back and everything seems fine now...
I've had nothing but problems with this computer since day one, when I manage to get some money I'm getting a new one and cutting all ties as there is certainly some hardware problem, I don't want to waste any more money on this PC...
