Yesterday, I noticed the PC is running very slow. While playing Fifa06, it was lagging (which it neveer does). Right now, I can't run FF (with 6 tabs), WMP, and Ares. FF froze and I had to 'end task' it. I defragmented this morning too.
what could be the problem?
thanks.
Could it be virtual memory?

Sounds like a virus! Scan your pc with your antivirus and spyware remover!
Why don't you prerform a scandisk too! you never know.

I scaned the PC with AVG and it's still slow. 5 mins ago, I couldn't run ares, azureus and Windows Control Panel window.

The problem? It's that my kettle has boiled.
I'm going to make myself a coffee; see if you can come up with more information before I get back.

Do you Defrag?
Diskeeper my man. Get Diskeeper.
I've seen defraged computers that were 90% fragmented and everything ran blazing fast afterwards.

Key factors to system slowdown "NOT" caused by slow hardware:
1. File Fragmentation
2. Spyware
3. Viruses
4. Corrupt Registry Entries
5. Too many system tray/background programs open
Now if you can eliminate all 5 of those, your computer will be faster.
