I built a pc for a m8, and he reports it runs slow during games and process svchost uses 90% CPU after 20 mins or so.

The HDD was a transplant from his old pc, so I didn't do a fresh install of the OS and have no idea yet if he has the latest security patches and service packs. Any ideas what to look for next? any benchmark pgms worth running?
Cheers
