IE/FireFox issue?

I have an issue when I go onto www.myspace.com to load most pages with pix/vid/?. I am not to sure if it is the video/audio or some other reason, but my slows up so much. I check task manager and see CPU Usage : 100%, I never used to have this issue before. I also play Counter-Strike for PC and that has lots of visuals and sound effects and I play that flawlessly. I have 512MB of ram, I also formatted my PC. There were two options when formatting, a quick one and I guess the longer one, I choose the quick. Installed vid drivers, sound drivers, still the same thing.I tried with both FireFox and IE, and same results. Please help.

    Since you can get at these sites, I suppose you also installed the Chip Set driver?  Have you checked for a BIOS update too?

    I downloaded all the updates, including BIOS update. I am unclear on what you mean by installing chipset driver? I may have done it, what exactly is it?

    I installed all updates. I installed "Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility." I'm not sure if that is what you were refferring to. I also have my computer setup right next to my fiance's computer. We would be on the same pages and it does not happen to her. She has a compaq presario.

    I would have you run Belarc Advisor to correctly identify all you components and then make sure you have correctly downloaded the correct video driver.  It may be that you have to uninstall the video card thru the device manager, reboot, and then let it reinstall again.

    I will definately try that, but I have been doing it when I formatted. It all started after a format I did when I had gotten a trojan from an email. Since then I have formatted twice.

    The Chip Set driver would have to be reinstalled every time after a format, along with all other drivers.

    Could you guide me on exactly what you mean? I'm guessing going into hardware, then deleting and rebooting. If I am correct, which ones am I delating and reinstalling?
