I am a Windows XP Professional SP2 user. My computer ran really fast before. Then I decided to reformat my system, backing up my files in the second partition and started a fresh OS install. After I have installed all necessary device drivers and restoring my previously installed programs, my computer has gone slow. Whenever I start XP, it is pretty fast. After a few minutes, programs began to respond really slow. Then after, after a few minutes, everything went back to normal. This event happens again and again every after a few minutes and whenever I start XP. I do not think it is because of virus and/or spyware infections because it is a freshly installed OS. And my computer has been clean of viruses and spyware ever since my previous system. Please help...

Jump to PostIts a driver issue.
When you reinstall the OS windows uses the standard windows drivers for everything. Go grab the newest ones from the individual manucturers sites. Most important are the graphics card and motherboard (chipset) drivers.
After getting the drivers, check Microsoft update for OS patches.
