Howdy
Well I tried once again overclocking my CPU and changing the voltage values following some online guides and got it running at 2.6ghz each core which was stable and when i booted seemed to remove a lot of the wait (but i only booted it once in this setting so it may be a fluke) anyway when booted up the computer today it has for some reason automatically changed back to 2ghz and the slow load and then the system hang for opening itunes/other apps appeared again.
So I followed your advice and looked in event viewer, found nothing remarkable for the **most recent** boot, but just kept scrolling and found some recurring errors and then after scroling down further found a whole page worth of errors, anyway will attemp to post them here:
Recurring Errors

3) – this actually was on my most recent boot

yeh sorry about the long post, it appears that errors 2 & 3 occur on nearly every boot close to the boot times, however I removed the source of error 2 by removing a specific application last boot which is why I believe it did not appear for this most recent boot although the freezing still did.
EDIT: Checked my bios settings and they still say that the cpu should be running at 2.6ghz(using speed of 260 multiplier of 10x) but when I check dxdiag it still says only 2ghz, however system information says they are running at 2.6ghz, any ideas why?
Once again thanks for the help
Cheers
