about 9 months ago the computer did run systemchecks often on startup

...then windows found the volume to be "dirty".
When Windows XP encounters a problem and has to shut down improperly, perhaps there is a power outage, a motherboard problem etc...The operating system will "flag" the volume as "dirty" and attempt to check it on reboot.
You can manually check the state of the dirty flag for your C: drive. To do this at the Command Prompt type :
fsutil dirty query c:
The response should be Volume - c: is NOT Dirty
I believe, on reformatting and reinstalling the operating system, windows naturally wants to check the disk for errors on the first reboot. If your system was just reinstalled three months ago, perhaps you need to run the chkdsk /r again.
Please advise your results.
