    there still is a program or a short somewhere using most of your resources. this could be a browser, spyware program, word processor, antivirus program, etc. even when you reformatted your hd. you definitely need more ram especially if you are trying to run a OS like w7 which requires a minimum of 512mb ram to run but runs better with 1.5gb ram or better. i would us an older OS like xp and also use older word processor like Microsoft office 2000. I have xp, have a dell d600 with 512 ram which is older than your laptop and it runs fine with xp and office 2000.
