SBS2008 VERY slow and gets stuck of stopping services when trying to restart.

Last week a client server had a power surge/failure.  Once they turned on system logging is was terribly slow and networked programs could barely be run.

Fix my network pointed to a DNS forwarding setting. I removed the forwarders and ran fix my network.  

Trying to restart server it gets stuck in the "Stopping Services" mode for over 12 hours.  After a hard boot i tried to run connect to the internet wizard and it "Could not configure DNS" and instructed me to run FIX my network.

System Logins were painfully slow (25 minutes, plus.

After a couple of runs of fix my network, it is somewhat better, but certainly not "acceptable"

Not sure where to look, what to "Fix"
