Very, very quick note. You should have stopped right after doing a fresh load of XP (and hopefully while pc was not constantly connected to internet). Your problems are most likely due to 1 or more programs you installed right after XP.
What other programs & utilities did you load on? any new devices, new drivers?
Which version (year) of Norton Internet Security is this? I also would say skip putting on Symantec System Works. If for no other reason than that you (likely) took default (standard) setup and it put all kinds of things into startup.
