How does it behave if you boot to Safe Mode with Networking? If better then something
is starting at boot that is causing the problem. Try the following:
First, physically disconnect from the Internet to prevent a malware infection while
your Anti-virus and/or Firewall are disabled in the following steps, then do a normal
boot:
Click on Start then Run, type msconfig and press Enter.
Click on the Startup tab and disable everything.
Do a regular boot, see if it runs normal.
If yes then use msconfig to enable several items at a time till you find the culprit.
If no, click on the Services tab. Check the Hide All Microsoft Services box
then disable what's left.
Again, do a regular boot, see if it runs normal.
If yes then use msconfig to enable services till you find the culprit.
Reconnect to the Internet when done.
Once you've found the culprit, uninstall it or find out how to eliminate it from
your system. Simply disabling it in msconfig is a temporary fix at best.
