My computer is approximately 2 months old and now has just recently
started to slow down after 3-4 hrs of use after each bootup. I have
scanned for viruses, malware/spyware, uninstalled unecessary programs,
defragmentized the hard drive, run diskcheck and cleared cookies and
temporary files from Internet Explorer. After a few hrs the system
slows down substantially thus making it difficult to browse the net
and switch inbetween programs. When I go to the "Performance" tab
under the task manager it shows the CPU usage around a minimal 5-10%
when idle during this slowdown process. Under "Processess" there
aren't any other resource programs running with any significant cpu
usage.
I am currently running: Windows XP SP2 (with all updates), Pentium
Core Duo 2.4ghz, 2 Gigs of Ram, Norton Internet Security.
Any thoughts?
