Painfully slow booting

by gavinjinks . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

I recentley formatted and reloaded XP onto a desktop that was bogged down with all sorts of temp files and adware. Worked fine for a few weeks, but all of a sudden XP booting became painfully slow! On some occasions the XP loading screen will come and go, but the screen will stay blank for hours and not boot at all!!!

Ive checked the HDD, checked XP was installed properly, checked the RAM, Grpahics and even throughly cleaned the machine inside and out just incase anything was over heating.

Its been bugging me for a few weeks now, any more suggestions or has any one else experienced this problem?

Cheers in advance.
