Not really possible to do with the info you posted. Including a Hijackthis log would help a lot though.





Try scanning for viruses and spyware.
Reply:It could be a symptom of what techies call Windows Rot. The longer you use your computer, the more cluttered things are on the hard disk, and Windows doesn't deal well with clutter, at all. You could try disk defrag's, registry defrag's, and products of the sort, or if you know how / know somebody who can, a fresh installation of Windows. It sounds like it's a software problem, since your hardware specs are top notch for simply browsing the web. Perhaps you're missing necessary drivers for all your hardware, or crucial updates?
Reply:you have a trojan in you





or your OS is corrupted, try to reinstall it





or reformat it
