thats probably because your cpu usage is above like 80% if you hold down ctrl+alt+del that brings up the task mananger click on the process tab and delete the prosses that you dont need. (dont delete system ones only your own user ones)

- Are you using a complex screensaver - it runs in the background and eats memory. I had fun with mine, then changed it to blank.
- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
1. From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart
2. click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup
3. Temporarily close Quick Launch:
Right-click on the Taskbar, click Toolbars, deselect Quick Launch
4. Open My Computer
right-click on C:
click Properties
click Tools, select Error Check (check all and fix), when finished click defrag & run.
5. click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)
6. Restart. Right-click on Taskbar, click Toolbars, select Quick Launch to restore
All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
- Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files.
Worst case, you might need more memory.

Either you have a computer virus, spyware/adware OR your hardware is not compatible with each other.
Motherboard settings on how to run your hardware may also be a factor.
When was the last time you formatted your hard drive?

I agree with ths spywares and viruses. but sometimes a defective a hardisk can cause the computer to slow down also try checkin it. If its seagate go to www.seagate.com and download seatools. if its maxtor download the powermax. If you have other brands try looking on their websites and look for diagnostics tool

Check for viruses, ad or spy ware, use a good antivirus software along with anti spyware.

Might be because you are running an anti virus program in the background( that is if you have it installed on your computer) otherwise i don't know.
