Just thought I'd update this incase anyone else experiences similar problems:
After everything I'd done the problems were continuing and getting worse. I was about to pull the trigger on a Mac, but the look of disgust on my wife's face made me think I should persevere with the problem.
I phoned a local engineer who suggested I should clean out the cooling fins on the processor and try swapping the RAM over. So I popped down to pc world, picked up a new memory module, swapped it over and bob's your uncle......fixed!!! Its been running for 2 weeks now without a single corruption or blue screen clap
I have often seen this banding you talk about. Either when copying an image
to an exif reader or occassionally with Canon's image tools opening an image
made with a Canon camera. The same image will open in MS Photo Editor or
PS. I believe that the problem is not Windows but older versions of software.
As a general reminder, it's always a good idea to keep software up to date.
Whether it's Windows or PS or anything else. It's part of owning technology
and it doesn't matter whose computer you own.
