I have been having some problems running XP on my system. I have a
PCchips 817 mobo with and Athlon XP 1600 CPU. I previously ran win2k
on it and had few problems as of late. It will sometimes just restart
itself when opening up an application. I tried to do a clean install
of Win XP Pro and the install went fine, but when I try to scroll thru
a webpage or my windows explorer, my CPU becomes overloaded and it
scrolls very very slowly. When I open my task manager, my CPU usage
goes way up very fast when just running a couple of apps. I have tried
to install XP a couple of times and even went to the MS website and
install the SP and security updates. It is very annoying. Can anyone
help??

Thank you in advance!!!

Rich,

Thanks for your reply. I have ran NAV 2003 on it and nothing came. But
aside from my problem, I think I may have the Sasser virus, because my
computer also will restart out of nowhere on me all the time, which is
also very annoying. I just don't understand why my computer runs
excellent with Win2k and then when I install XP it is just so
sluggish. Like I said, I've tried to install XP about 5 times and it
does the same thing every time.
