Answer 1

Have you also upgraded your drivers? Probably drivers issues.

Answer 2

Well if you upgraded to Vista from XP. You have added thousands of files to the computer registry. However, your old XP registry keys are still using your computer registry. That means that you running your computer with literally hundreds of meg of unnecessary files that your computer needs to search through in order to operate properly. Scan and defrag your registry with a good registry cleaner. This seems to have helped a lot of people.
Hope this helps!
