Boot the machine into safe mode and see how it reacts, if performance seems
better, use msconfig to find the faulting application of service:

Dont know if this will work but it did for me as i got
this from tech support.
i had bought an ex demo from shop it was a new computer
but when i got it home the next day it booted up but
paused through each process
(1) They advised me to shut down the pc and take all the
cables out.
(2)when all the cables are out including power cable
press the button witch boots your computer up and hold
the button in for one minute or just a bit longer then
let go.
(3)just put the power cable and moniter back in and boot
the pc back up,if this works it did for me, your computer
should start as normal.
(4) reason for this is apparently my computer had got
stattic on the motherbard and this destattics the
motherboard.When i eplained my problem to tech they knew
what it was straight away.

ps i hope this works for you.
