Get the latest NFORCE Drivers for your mobo/chipset there. If you are using the onboard VGA, use the VGA drivers as well as the OS drivers. That should clear up any problems you are having. If not, post back and we'll see. If you are not using the onboard VGA, and have a secondardary AGP card installed, disable the onboard VGA in the BIOS, and that may help...


Also, run a virus scan just in case. make sure you are using an antivirus software/firewall..

And just to check, did you install SP2 (service pack 2 for windows XP)?

and before reinstalling windows go into the bios and change it to default, safe or optimal settings. seems like you changed your FSB or cpu multiplier and your pc is having some issues syncing with the ram.

After reinstalling your OS, the first thing anyone should ever do is always to install the motherboard or chipset driver first. Then you must install your graphics driver. This will help XP to recognise the hardware and optimise it. Although it is wierd why it would choose to take your processor as more powerful.
