not responding 1-2minutes after start up

[Guest]

Hello,
Hello,

I'm getting unresponsive win xp after 1-2 minutes since start up.
Last Friday my pc was working fine, at some point it restarted and starteds
freezing 1-2minutes right after start up. More precisely it's more like „not
respondingâ€.
I can move with the mouse cursor, click icons, but they won't display
content in opened window, the clock won't display actual time. It worked fine
in Safe mode so I ran an AVAST and Ad-Aware scan. Everything was clean. I
checked register with RegSupreme, returned to „last working configurationâ€
with no results. Windows were on a partition so I decided to do a
reinstallation.
To my surprise the problem remained. Right after finishing installation it
started the „responsive mouse bu not the systemâ€.
I repeated format and reinstallation, this time I've unchecked automatic
upgrades during installation. It helped. I've moved to installing drivers,
firewall (Comodo) and anti-virus AVAST, imported my firefox and e-mail client
configurations. I tried to activate my XP and I couldn't (smth along reaching
limit of activations) I did the telephone activation. Everything worked as it
was supposed to. Until next day. After being on for few hours the process
repeated and again I have unresponsive system right after few minutes since
start up, there's additional symptome my e-mail client and web browser
display no previous settings, messages, or favourites (folders are still
present in Documents&Settings). In safe modes – everything works except
those previously imported and previously working settings... No memory or hdd
problems. No new software or hardware.
I really have no clue as to what might be causing this.

I can only suspect some problem with the new activation code? or download of
upgrades? (I did set them to be downloaded with possibility of chosing which
to install)
I'm clueless... Any help will be very, very much appreciated...

Place a shortcut to "taskmgr.exe" into
"c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup"
so that the Task Manager is launched automatically at logon time.
Now click the "Processes" tab, then click the CPU column header
once or twice in order to force the task that hogs the CPU to float
right to the top. What is this task?

"System Idle 97%" that's on top when I'm clicking CPU header.
and yet, while the task manager was responsive I coudn't do anything alse.
(exp. I was unable to open Start Menu)
When I'm clicking on the CPU usage graph it jumps to 100% usage for a short
while. What else can I check?
