My pc is slow at first start, so I have to restart and then it works all fine. If I run task manager I see that CPU is always on 94%, with svchost in 80%. I've got windows 8.1 Pro x64

Ok good to know everything is ok - however I think your problem might be that Windows 8.1 may simply be a very demanding piece of software to run on your machine...

Your best bet might be to upgrade your HD to an SSD - but check your motherboard supports at least SATA II (3Gb/s) first, otherwise I think you might do better to start looking at a new system...

If you do go the SSD route, bare in mind that if you then decide to upgrade anyway, you'll be able to carry the new SSD into the new system, so it's never going to be money wasted

Ok next - have you done a Check Disk? Disck Cleanup? What are your drives? Also have you checked whether there are unneccessary programs running at startup? Is your hard drive more than 80% full? How much RAM do you have?

I've already done Check Disk, and it said it's all ok, I've a Seagate ST3500418AS 500GB, I removed all unnneccessary programs, my hard drive is 136 Gb full and I got 8 GB DDR2 800 Mhz Dual Channel.
If I run task manager svchost keeps 80% of CPU (Pentium Dual Core E5400 OC to 3.3 Ghz) and if I remove the Internet Key the system back to a normally stat.
I had Windows XP, Windows 7 and finally Windows 8.1 in this computer and only 8.1 gives me troubles.
