    Okay here's the problem. I had Windows XP Pro for about 3 years now. I noticed that it wasn't running like it used to (i.e. I had to turn off the option that let's you see the content of the window while dragging). I downloading SP2 and that still didn't fix the problem. Then all the sudden my CPU went from going slow to not going at all. I wanted to reformat my HD but now when I turn it on, windows won't even load. So :swear: 'ing confused.

    Anybody have any suggestions or advice

    it sounds like your computer is getting bogged down, might be viruse(s) and/or spyware/adware.
    Try something like sygate firewall (not to fix but to help prevent in future) http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm
    Also try Ad-Aware for removing Adware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
    and Spybot Search & Destroy for removing spyware, http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
    scan with the 2 scanners and see what they come up with, also install sygate, its a great software firewall and is very effective.

    Did you install windows correctly? Try reinstalling it or doing a repair install.

    It sounds to me that your CPU is over heating after the boot. You should try to lower your CPU speed in the BIOS if possible
