Hi.
I have a Pentium CPU running at 2.50GHz, 2GB of RAM, a Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT and W7 Ultimate 32-bit.
Since last week, i've been having some big issues during the startup.
The computer will boot just fine, but when the desktop appears, it slows down a lot, with the computer making a very characteristic sequence of sounds. However, CPU usage never goes over 60% and memory usage never goes over 50%.
But the weird thing is, is that most of the times, the computer will eventually speed up, but then, im not able to open anything. I mean anything. No programs, no applications, nothing from Windows Explorer, nothing.
If i'm quick enough, i can manage to open something, but then it will stop working or, in the case of Google Chrome, not being able to access another website, apart from the one in which im already in.
But sometimes, like yesterday, it will boot fine and run trouble free throughout the day.
I've done System Restores, memory checks, registry cleanups, defrags, antivirus checks, removed programs from the computer and the startup, ran startup repair and i run CCleaner regularly (it actually seems to be the best short term cure for it), and no problem went away unfixed.
Any help? What staggers me is that this happened all of a sudden, and it's getting quite frustrating.
