First question to ask is do you have enough RAM, what version of xp home or pro, If your running xp home it needs a minimum of 256mb but runs best with 512mb or more. Pro needs 512mb min but runs best with 1024mb or more.
Secondly your PC could be suffering form overheating, check the inside ( With the power OFF ) for excessive dust.

XP with SP2 needs at least 512MB RAM. If your PC has 256MB that's your problem. Plus all the startups as well.
