Solve : Xp trying to kill computer??

1.	Solve : Xp trying to kill computer??
Answer» I just installed xp back on my machine yesterday. (Hated vista, and got stuffed with viruses) So I formatted, reinstalled, and now xp has become very unreliable. Most of the time, it will start up just fine, but once I tell it to open a program it won't come up for a good 3 minutes. Remember, this ain't a slow computer.....2.3ghz quad core, 4GB ram, 512 video card. It never did this before. I think it might be HARDWARE because my computer hasn't been shut off properly all the time, and so something might be damaged....... Please help!Seeing as you just installed XP, Install it again. Remember to format the entire Hard Drive during the INSTALLATION.I'm pretty sure I did. Also windows won't update. It KEEPS saying it failed!Yeah, reinstall it. One question, is it Genuine?yes.....100% genuine installation of xp. Why?Just wondering. Reinstall yet?sorry, just finished REINSTALLING now time for all the drivers and such...
