    try doing a system restore. i had your problems as well, and even after dell fixed my fan and heatsink, which was broken, the problem persisted. then they told me to try a system restore, and so far, so good. at least for the past week.

    The first thing I do after formatting any of my PCs is to disable system restore. So yeah, I don't have any restore points

    I haven't gotten around to opening it and cleaning it yet, need to get time to buy a magnetic screwdriver first.

    Also, it seems odd to me that its a one-off thing (that happens very frequently now) just when going into windows. Sometimes with a slight delay meaning when I first move the mouse.

    Have you sacrificed to the Power Supply gremlins in the past 6 months? If not, then this is undoubtedly your issue.

    Well he means you may be needing a new power supply to overcome your problem, if I'm not wrong.

    Or just a Bad Joke©.

    Fractionhair, have you cleaned out the PC thoroughly using prescribed measures? Are you still experiencing these problems? You haven't mentioned anything so far about what you've done or what the status is...
