A system idle process at 98% means your processor is only 2% busy, so
obviously that isn't your problem. Make sure you update your hardware
drivers (particularly video) after a reinstall. I suspect that's what's
wrong.

The idle process isn't the problem. It should report high numbers.

You might test an updated video driver - from the chip or card
manufacturer's WEBsite. If results are poor, ROLL BACK to the prior
driver. If you are unfamiliar with this process, it's best left to
someone who is.

Also, no harm in running through the suggestions here...

You sure do - unfortunately there's no one here who can help you with the
kind of help you need...

Suggest you avail yourself of the nearest dictionary and look up 'idle'.
