some interesting results
Howdy
Well I tried once again overclocking my CPU and changing the voltage values following some online guides and got it running at 2.6ghz each core which was stable and when i booted seemed to remove a lot of the wait (but i only booted it once in this setting so it may be a fluke) anyway when booted up the computer today it has for some reason automatically changed back to 2ghz and the slow load and then the system hang for opening itunes/other apps appeared again.
So I followed your advice and looked in event viewer, found nothing remarkable for the **most recent** boot, but just kept scrolling and found some recurring errors and then after scroling down further found a whole page worth of errors, anyway will attemp to post them here:
Recurring Errors

yeh sorry about the long post, it appears that errors 2 & 3 occur on nearly every boot close to the boot times, however I removed the source of error 2 by removing a specific application last boot which is why I believe it did not appear for this most recent boot although the freezing still did.
EDIT: Checked my bios settings and they still say that the cpu should be running at 2.6ghz(using speed of 260 multiplier of 10x) but when I check dxdiag it still says only 2ghz, however system information says they are running at 2.6ghz, any ideas why?
Once again thanks for the help
Cheers
Problems with CPU
I up till a week ago had a P4 3 Ghz Cpu in my comp while parents had a core2 duo 2Ghz. Anyway I swapped both of them over as some of the games i now play have a minimum requirement of 2Ghz dual core and I was going to overclock it. Originally I got the-
CPU is unworkable or has been changed. Please recheck - CPU SOFT MENU
-error at startup and so had to go into bios and just set the processor details manually (I made sure the details are correct) and then even tried overclocking it and got it to speeds of 2.4. However using the operating system the computer would boot up get past the welcome screen then sorta freeze/stop for ages and then load everything (msn and such) really quickly(all at once) after the pause. At this point I was like hmmm I'll change it back to normal speed.
Similarly with other programs (opening Feedgator, dvdshrink, using draw pad in msn, itunes especially) i would click to open them and then the computer would appear to be computing but was in actual fact sorta frozen, I could alt+tab to other processes (I.E Firefox and such) but the taskbar would not respond and if I opened Itunes from start menu the start menu would remain there plastered across my screen not doing anything.
I have applied the hotfix for improving Dual core in xp and doen the other steps associated with it.
Cheers
