One of the invesrtigation lines here is what is hogging the CPU to make boot up etc choppy. So the task manager examination is potentially valuable.

100% cpu usage can be just some software that is got into a cycle. I have had this problem onvarious computers withsome software from HP especially scanner and printer type of software. The oly solution I fould was to uninstall the software, remove all entries in the registry that refered to such software and then reinstall. Try a registry cleaner.
