Don't know where to start with this one.

I built a new system P4-2.8G x 1G Ram + XpPro + Office
2003

When I click on my Name to Log in, it often takes more
than a minute before my desktop apears, then when I open
Outlook or IE I get several crashes and requests to send
an error report to MS.

Then everything is perfect for the rest of the day.

Do I need to reinstall and start over?
 
Hi Ian,

It depends, have you checked the system and application logs for clues yet
(start/run eventvwr.msc)? Tried a clean boot yet?
