Although these issues aren't causing any major problems, they've crossed the line today.

1. I found a second user account called asp.net. I deleted it. I have no idea where it came from.
2. If I hybernate, it errors the first time and then when I restart it works.
3. It always takes two tries to get the computer started. The first try always results in a black screen.
4. explorer.exe sometimes decides to use almost all CPU resources. This seems to be connected with overnet since it hasn't happened at all lately since I haven't been using overnet.

etc.

Should I just reinstall the whole thing? I've had other problems such as my norton firewall just deciding it didn't want to work anymore. I have up to date Norton AV. I have up to date windows updates.

It's just kinda annoying now.

1) ASP.net is a user account created by Windows when you installed the .NET framework. You shouldn't delete this account.

2) Hypernation is buggy. Every device on your systems has to have drivers than support it. One device driver misbehaves and your PC goes to sleep and never wakes up.

3) Probably some weird hardware problem.

I had a similar problem and discovered it was due to having an IDE cable connected to my motherboard but not to any IDE devices.

4) No clue what overnet is.
