Very Slow PC after Reinstalling windows

[tomprinsen]

My pc fatally crashed when I ended the svchost.exe process.
It gave a weird screen so I turned it off in a fit of panic, when I tried
rebooting it
just kept giving blue screens whenever it showed windows.

So I just reinstalled windows and everything, then the pc was just very VERY
slow it took about 10 minutes until it was completely booted up and I can't
even start up any program. (I tried installing my internet drivers but the
program runs after 5-10 minutes of activating the program and then just
freezes.) When I try to shut down the program with task manager, task manager
freezes down as well most of the time.

It's not a problem with the CPU because it's usually at 2%, the RAM is 2GB
and before I reinstalled windows (XP Professional Edition) it just worked
fine.

I want to know if there's a way to solve this

likely that what ever was
affecting your system before
the installation, is still a
problem after the new
installation.

you did mention installing
windows and "everything".

however, this is likely
to be the fatal mistake. also
who in the world would know
what "everything" implies.

the best way to exercise
the method you tried is to
install windows "only" and
"nothing" more.

then see where your
computer stands.

Oh Sorry I just meant I reinstalled only windows.

It's really a confusing problem, because it was a quite fast pc earlier, now
it's probably unable to run even pong (just an example of how slow it is)

'everything'? but no doubt you didnt install the mobo chipset & other
hardware drivers

Yep...
the mobo and chipset drivers will make a big difference

ok, perhaps it is
a hardware problem.

however, expanding
on the software method
of your approach, you
might try rebooting
into safemode and
see if windows in this
mode runs better.

if it does, then we
can eliminate faulty
hardware as a probability.
