It does look like a software type problem. You have tried here yes?

vip.asus.com

(I have a little Eee PC 1000e. It's handy for the road).

If it's now running normal, I would take an image of it and leave it as it is. It's possible I think it took a lot of time to sort out the uploads you just put in.

Providing you don't start having other problems too of course.

If there are still problems, and it is your machine that has a fault on it, it's important that is determined quickly. I would just use the tech support mailbox facility, don't prompt them, and see what they want to do to fix it. If it's a compatability issue, see what can be done about it and then make a decision whether you want to live with it or not.

I would be surprised if a machine like that could not handle the applications you loaded though.

CK, a wag: could be the HD ran constantly to index all files to make future searches faster? If true, it's done now.

I've had flakey things happen with indexing,
so I like that idea. And I'm a big fan of
TuneUp Utilities, I'd let that work my machine
over for a couple days before I sent anything
to the shop. I assume you did that complete
checkdisk too, tuneup can set that up as well.
