100% CPU Usage problem


Hello everyone,

I'm a fairly competent geek and have been having trouble getting to the
bottom of a problem with my PC constantly running 100% CPU usage. For
the first 5-10 minutes after startup, winlogon.exe is eating up all the
CPU, and after that the system is real sluggish. Any process you are
trying to use will be using 100% CPU. Trying to print a Word document
is agonizing ...

Problem had been occurring occasionally for a while, but a cold reboot
would usually fix the problem. Today I got tired of dealing with it and
decided to reinstall OS and now the problem is constant. I'm really
flummoxed on this one. Any help is appreciated.

System is home built, Athlon 2000+, 1 GB RAM, 120GB hard drive
partitioned into one 6 GB partition for the OS and the rest in a
seperate partition for programs and data. Seperate 2 GB hard drive (woo
hoo!) is used for swap file only.

OS is Win 2000 Pro, SP4.

Using Zone Alarm and AVG Free 7.0. I have every spyware tool you can
imagine at my disposal and have found nothing. I even spent an hour
today removing a bunch of ADS from files on the hard drive and still
have the same problem. HJT log is attached as text file.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanx
Pat
