For the two times out of 10 it works flawlessly you had no open applications running.

No, it doesn't matter what applications i'm running, i can run 10 application at one time or none, it behaves the same.
I should mention that after a failed user switch, after the PC rebots and windows boot up it will show that the system has recovered from a serious error. I will write the error here next time it will happen ;)
