Slow response problem in XP... I hope it's not my hardware!!

    For some odd reason yesterday i started getting 3-4 sec delays when trying to open the start tab... It also happens when closing sections in control panel. The system just stops responding briefly either after i close a file window in control panel (eg. sytem properties) or selecting the start tab... It happens most frequently after a restart, then after a good hour of the system being on the delays reduce... I wasnt too worried about this originally as i thought a re-install of windows would solve this. Of course, it didn't.... :( Before i tried the reformat i tried many things like checking for viruses, spyware, defragmenting, chkdsk etc... nothing. I also ran a good 7-8 hrs prime run and it showed no errors...

    So now the clean install is giving me the same problems, although i have to say i only started noticing them after i had installed everything, for example the windows updates... Could there be an update thats causing this?? I sure as hell hope it's software because if not then its most likely my hardware right!? Also i tried running 3dmark06 and the score is fine, the same as it used to be :confused:

    Any idea?

    Thanks.

    Recompile Windows Kernel on your AMD CPU, will be faster.

    No just kidding...

    I heard that Vista was surprinsingly slow on AMD CPU. Some kind of bad tweaks from Microsoft ?
    I don't know at this stage sorry.

    The only thing I know is that Vista is turning off the hard drive very often. A Little bit of inactivity and oops have to wait a little bit to take control back, even if the Screen Saver has not been activated yet. I am sure some kind of optimization/tweaking could be done about the energy stuff here.
