Hi all, I recently ordered a new motherboard. I installed it without reformatting my computer. windows xp was sluggish for a little while then i had no problems. I ended up reformatting today and XP seemed to be running fine, I installed AVG antivirus. Reboot the machine, now windows takes a while to load at the loading screen. When i do get into windows, the CPU usage is unusally high, even when its not doing anything. This is after I did all the windows updates. I uninstalled AVG and it seemed to help a little bit. I installed GRID and tried to play, but its very choppy and sluggish in the opening movie. Any suggestions?
