How does it behave if you boot to Safe Mode with Networking? If better then something is starting at boot that is causing the problem. Try the following:
First, physically disconnect from the Internet to prevent a malware infection while 
your Anti-virus and/or Firewall are disabled in the following steps, then do a normal 
boot:

Click on Start then Run, type msconfig and press Enter.
Click on the Startup tab and disable everything.
Do a regular  boot, see if it runs normal.
If yes then use msconfig to enable several items at a time till you find the culprit.

If no, click on the Services tab. Check the Hide All Microsoft Services box 
then disable what's left.
Again, do a regular  boot, see if it runs normal.
If yes then use msconfig to enable services till you find the culprit.
Reconnect to the Internet when done.
