    Perhaps you can explain why formatting isn't an option? I could come up with some better ideas then

    I had the same problem when I formatted my computer with WinXP. Eediot helped me here. Ok, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and click the Processes Tab, and click CPU and check what's taking the most. It was something like DLLHOST.dll for me, taking 75-90% of my System Resources. There's a real dllhost.dll file in windows, but one's fake. Google on how to delete it/which folder it's in.

    Motherboard problems most likely CPU chip and with that reformatting might just not even help.
