soon as i installed it i hit problems, Windowsexplorer wouldnt open, and just
crashed on startup. All my drivers were copletely muddled up and to make it
even better it took about 100 years to open anything!!
Eventually Windows eplorer worked, but then my pc got evvveeeeeen

That's easy. Try to reformat your HD by using the OS you got working.
