Slow PC. Not a simple problem

[Guest]

I assure you. This is not a simple problem. I am a seasoned tech. There
are no viruses, no spyware. My CPU is running like garbage. I cannot figure
out why. I am thinking it is a driver issue or something but have no way to
prove one way or the other. My CPU is simply not performing. Its not
virtual memory, its not the ram, I don't have too many apps running.

Everything I do says this is a hardware problem however I have replaced the
CPU, motherboard and video card. still the same slow pc. What now?

Here is advice from one to another then..

Image it.

Reinstall from scratch with all the latest drivers and patches integrated
into the CD. Install nothing else and under no circumstances - touch the
Internet. If the problem exists in that purest form for the machine - then
you have narrowed down to hardware. If it works like you think it should -
then it is something to do with the software you had on it.

Image everything back and troubleshoot further.

Very very slow,

Slow and stable or
