for some reason my computer has become very sloppy. if i look in process explorer i see that there two combined are using over 50 % of the processor. this has only just happended after i put in a new hard drive. i tried removing it but it did not make a difference. i checked in my comp to make sure that everything was still connected and it was. now most programs take ages to load, firefox not at all. anyone know what is causing this.
my comp is a p4 2.8, gig of ram, nvidia geforce 5800 and windows home edition
edit - i was just playing around in safe mode and it took me quite a few attempts to even get into it, it would get to the point where u have to chose a user then restart. now im in it thought and dpc and hardware interupts are only using <10% of the processor.
