Since you have reformated, it is less likely that it is a software problem. You say that you have "changed the amount of programs running at startup", but have you reduced this to the minimum (i.e. systray and explorer) to see if the problem is still there. This is the only way you can be sure that it is not a software problem.
What devices are installed in your expansion slots? Do you have a network card? Has anything else been added to the system in terms of PCI devices since you first powered up the system? How is your external CD-RW device connected? Is the problem still there if the CD-RW is not connected? Check some of these things and get back to us with more information and we'll proceed from there.

Are their any conflicts shown in Device Manager?
Is your printer connected to the parallel port or USB port?
Is your printer sharing any IRQs?
