PC issue

[sycogrim08]

Hi pp

I'm finding this to be very wierd and I dunno what could be causing it..... My PC has been acting up lately and what happens is i start my pc up and i log into windows but a few minutes later the PC "lags" like u see it in a game... it happens for split seconds at a time and this happens even when i log off windows and im just sitting in the user accounts section..... If anyone has some idea on how to fix this pls lemme know... I'm not sure whether its a hardware issue or what but im stuck now...

thanks

I'm confident the guys here will be able to help if you can provide your specs.

First thing check in task manager (alt ctr del) if any processes are using unusually high amounts of memory or cpu. Also if it is a windows problem mabe a windows repair should sort the problem out.

Ok well I was thinking of reinstalling windows... but first I would like to maybe narrow down to what is causing the issue and yeh the main thing thats using up alot of memory is MsMpEng (This is Forefront) but that never used to use up so much before... I also checked my registry and found no faults... I checked my startup programs and I did find a Worm as apart of my startup in msconfig but nothing in the registry... ummmm as for PC specs:

ASUS P5B Mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6ghz
2.5gig Ram
Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb
Hyper TX2 Cooler

Lemme know if there is anything im missin

Could it be perceived performance? You know, like when you drive a 400HP car... eventually you going to think it is slow.
