Default Running so slowly

Hey guys,

After my motherboard died, I replaced it and now the computer is up and running, I figured that I should wipe my HDD and re-install Windows and I did.

Now I have had to change my Radeon 9800 Pro to a Nvidia Geforce MX400. Due to the GFX card being broken.

So now my Operating System runs sooooooo slow, as in the CPU usage even when idle is about 60%. When it's installing or updating or making any changes to the registry or something it slows down and I can't really do anything.

I've done everything to try and speed it up so I believe it might be a hardware problem (as I have re-formatted Windows once before) so I wondered what you guys think might need replacing.

Thanks.
Hellbreather.

1. Format the disk
2. Intall windows
3. Check if the problem still exists
4. If it does contact nvida and the maker of the CPU.
5. If that fails email me at admin@henryjsaunders.com so i can give you brilliant tweaking tips.
