I advise you to re install windows .

if the problem persists try the following:

1- place an isolation sheet ( paper , nylon , styrofoam..) beneath the mainboard so it wont be in contact with the case.
2- check integrity of RAM uninstall it and reinstall it properly
3- check cpu if its overheating sometimes improper cpu cooling could cause system freesing.

First thing I would do would be to run some virus and spyware scans. If you have any bad files on th system it could definetely inhibit the speed of your PC. Let me know how that works out.

Check out download.com for some free scanners.

Web pages are always very slow, no matter how I clean up internet options.

1. First of all back up the Data that you require on either DVD's or Thunb Drives / External drives.

2. Do a clean format, for that you would need the OS CD and make sure that yr Optical drive is working.

3. Steps to do OSRI (Operating System Re-Install) are different from OS to OS.

4. Let me know if you need more help.

My computer too slow always get the not responding reply.

Eliminate Viruses and Spyware
Step 1

Run your antivirus program. There may be something slowing your computer that you can remove. It is a good idea to run your antivirus program every week.
Step 2

Remove spyware. Run a good spyware tool at least twice a month.
Step 3

Use a pop-up blocker, if you have one. Check your antivirus program.


Dispose of the Extras

Step 1

Delete your document files for anything you no longer need. Saved pictures, audio and video files in particular can slow your computer.

Step 2

Remove unwanted programs from the Control Panel area. Old toolbars or games the kids downloaded off the Internet are a good place to start. Look for software you no longer use, such as the old printer you threw out last year.

Step 3

Clean out your email. Old messages are a constant drain on your computer's resources. Go through every folder, deleting everything you do not need. Leave no mail! Finish by emptying the Deleted Items folder.

Step 4

Turn off unnecessary programs. Check your taskbar for icons that show running programs. Disable anything you are not currently using.

Run Maintenance

Step 1

Run the Disk Cleanup tool located in your Control Panel. (Windows only. For other operating systems, please check the Resources section below.) This will remove temporary files, cookies and unnecessary components to speed up your computer.

Step 2

Defragment your computer. Defragging takes some time, but will speed your computer significantly. You can find the tool in your Control Panel. Run it monthly.

Step 3

Check for disk errors. Sometimes corrupted files slow down your computer. To find and fix these files, Go to My Computer and right-click on C drive. Choose Properties, then Tools.

Low disk space recovery D

Option 1: Vista itself requiers a large amount of memmory, consider switching to a less demanding operating system like Windows XP, If you prefer the Vista look you can get themes that make Windows XP look like vista (Remember: you will need to backup files which you wish to keep).

Option 2: Insert you vista disk and follow on screen instructions to modify which vista components you want on your computer or use the add/remove windows components wizard on you computer, you may find there are parts of vista you do not require.

Option 3: Continue what you have already started.

Computer Freezes when connected to internet.

The first step is to verify that you are not infected with a spyware or virus infection. The fact that you are only having freezing problems when you are connected to the internet is a sign that you may have some kind of infection.

The Geek Squad website has links to free online virus and spyware scanners that can tell you if you're infected.

If those scans come up as clean could you please post a Hijackthis log file so we can look at what processes you have running?
