when my computer starts,windows starts & i can work normally but
after about 5 mints,my computer stops responding for
about 20 mints but after that it runs normally.
why?can it be due to antivirus s/w or H/W problem or OS problem?
I use win xp(not sp2),P3 1000MHz,256 RAM,40GB HD.

Sounds like something is overheating. Is the fan spinning on your cpu/graphics card?

I had one that did that and it was because it was getting too hot. I had upgraded my motherboard and processor, but used my same old fan. The fan was not rated high enough for my processor. This may not be the case with your computer, but still, it is likely that heat is an issue. You might have a diagnostics program that tells you what your cpu temperature is. Check it if you do. Otherwise, try to find a way to get more air to your machine, like make sure the fans are working, not clogged, etc.

You will want to look at what programs start automatically when you start your computer. There is likely something there that is causing this problem.
