All work related stuff is backed up to external device whenever I use it for work.

I tried to fix it from 2000 til 0100 last night to no avail. unplugged it all last night and left it til 1630 today, switched it on and typically it started up fine.

Fucking technology.

It seems the pc just doesn't like my wireless network adapter, I've formatted the system but it crashes when I plug in the wireless network adapter (USB edimax one) and it no longer likes the software either, the software just says its busy all the time. Why would it suddenly not like it anymore though? It's never batted an eyelid before?

Obvious one, tried hunting out new drivers for it? Guessing you've tried other USB/PCI ports as well?

I've had to reinstall drivers for the LAN card to get it connected to Internet through Ethernet. I'll look for new drivers once windows has updated itself, only 750MB worth of updates..

With the USB wireless adapter plugged in the pc doesn't shutdown, as soon as you remove it it shutdown, same with startup, with adapter in it won't startup, unplug adapter and it boots. WTF is all that about!?

If I were you, I'd use a Ubuntu Live CD and see if you still have the same problem in Ubuntu, that would tell you if the problem is with your hardware, or your OS

It seems that the wireless network adapter is the cause of all of this, pc functions fine without it and crashes with it, IT dept at work looked at the adapter and they think it's somehow faulty and has caused the crash as they can't get it to work on there pc's either, what a bizarre problem though!

USB devices cause problems like this all the time.
