New build, strange problem.

[Dozer]

SO I built this computer last week:

A8N-ALI Premium
X2 4400+
2x 1024MB G.Skill PC3200 2-3-2-5 ram
eVGA 7800GT (to be SLi once everything else is up and running)
HSF: Zalman 9500LED

Onto the porblem...

It will Post. I have Installed windows. It boots.

However, it runs as slow as crap. booting takes 90+ seconds, and one on desktop doing ANYTHING causes about 5 seconds of lag. When idle, task manager shows cpu usage at 75+%. Now this sounds like a heating problem to me, but Motherboard probe reports both temperatires hovering at 33C. Hell, I can put my hand on the base of the 9500 and it's barely warm.

It's like my processor is gimped or something. I have no idea. Please help

Is there a reason that you needed a second post about the same problem?

Take the advice given to you in the other post. Look in the processes tab of the Task Manager and let us know what process ( if any ) is taking up all the CPU.
