In task manager, click the Process-tab and sort on CPU usage, maybe you see there if there is something in a loop.
Try removing everything from the startup folders, and from WIN.INI ("Windows" section, in "Load" or "Run" - if there is anything), and from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run in the registry, to see if one of those applications causes a problem.

Are you logging on as administrator. If not then do so and check the security permissions for the system drive. Make sure the user or group has access to this folder, if not then add them. Do not check the Apply to subdirectories Check box.
Hopethis helps.
