Yes.... I'm getting this one as well... Not quite as often as you are but certainly a couple of times in the last few days.  The main problem I'm still seeing is with the Wiki which doesn't want to open at all and exhibits exactly the symptoms that you're describing above. It does it in IE and Firefox.

Best Regards,

May be a stupid question, but did you try deleting all your temporary internet files, and cookies?

Perhaps try doing a scan of the harddrive. Perhaps you've got a couple of bad sectors, and things are getting written to them, then getting corupted, and that's why it's good after you delete, then it comes back.
