When you did a fresh install did you format as well?

Also when you start up in safe mode open the msconfig and see if there is alot of stuff starting up. Maybe something happened.

If you can give us full details of all the hardware in your system then that may give us a better idea on what's going on. ;)

Also, did you run the system compatability test on the PC before loading XP on? :?:

Sounds like a hardware problem. Your hardware details would help, and if anything has been overclocked or changed from specification, please indicate.

Also, maybe you should go into your BIOS (keep pressing DEL as your PC is first booting) and choose the "Load Fail Safe Defaults" option.
