hi again lol... anyways um since i had a built in windows xp computer by HP and it screwed up reformatting and i couldnt open windows...i decided to borrow a friend's windows xp cd and reformat it again. once i finished reformatting, everything was perfect, i even downloaded service package 2 but there was a slight problem and i checked to see if there are any viruses just in case. The problem was that if i was on the computer for maybe an hour or longer, my computer will freeze on me when i reach to 'my computer' folder or 'desktop' folder and when i play games my computer will go sluggish on me and the cpu usage will jump from 96% to 100%. so....i decided to reformat again but now the problem is..when i leave my computer on too long, files and programs will not open when i click on it, itll just look like it will open but nothing pops up. and when i try to close opened files or programs itll just freeze and say not responding, alt+cntrl+del wont open up task manager and i cant shutdown or restart my computer so the only way to turn it off is take out the plug in the back =(.....

anyone plz help? and thanks in advance. this was my 5th time reformatting in 3 days -.-... help is greatly appreciated.
