Windows xp home sp 1,2,3 not sure what other information you require but i am sure you will let me know,

When i try to log on to outlook express,outlook email,or skype
my computer freezes and i have to reboot, what i have noticed is that my cpu in task manager is running at between 60%-100% ,100% when i try the above programs and shuts down,
Any ideas

If your computer is running that high even when only on XP, either you have a very old CPU, you could have a virus, or your computer needs cleaning up, try going through the stages here first, then if that doesn't make it work any better try the steps here.

EDIT: Oh, also, can you post your hardware specs?

Ok, well after a quick google, that proccessor is rarther old, manufactured from 2000-2006, however according to the clock speeds it should be able to run XP fine, afterall, when I got XP I was on a P3 at about 400Mhz, and yours is much better, so that's not the problem, So, just go through those links and does as it says, then we can try and sort it out.

ok thingie2
I think you may have misunderstud me the cpu runs ok
when idle say around 2% - 7 % its only when i try to log on ie7 it goes to around 100% but on outlook , outlook express ,
and skype ot freezes, any way i have posted my logs under the virus post thanks
i did all the clean ups
on the sfc it repeatly ask for my xp disc so i dont think would have worked
