I've been doing some serious overclocking lately (except for extreme voltage..) and I've been getting tons of weird Windows quirks in return. (Stability has never been a problem, as it passes long sessions of BF2, Prime 95, Memtest, and 3dmark tests.)
Here's the issues:
1. I booted up once, and I couldn't find any trace of Windows Media Player. The executable is gone, and I can't get into it manually. However, when I click on a media file, such as a movie or song, Media player shows up and plays!!! 😵
2. Just starting a day or 2 ago, boot times have been record quality, but once it's in Windows, I can't get into my computer immediately without the flashlight looking for stuff. It does eventually come up after about 15 seconds.
Also, If I try to go to Start and All Programs, the menu won't show, until about 15 seconds later, at which point I get a "ghost menu" (the all programs list) that obstructs my view of the desktop and other windows which I can't interact with.
All the lagginess goes away if I don't do anything with the computer after its in Windows for about 15 seconds, and it functions normally.
What's going on? Is Windows deteriorating?
