It may have alot of junk in it. Lets clean it up. You say your computer is virus free, how about spyware/adaware? Run the 2 programs below to make sure.
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php
Now we know it is clean lets get to work on cleaning it up.
Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2048
Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.
Download CleanUp---http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/

It happens a lot because due to low memory. Go ahead and run a virus scan any way because you could also have a bug or a virus as well. Just to make sure. And another go to control panel, click on performance and maintenance, and then click on disc cleanup. Cleanup files can also help your system function better too. I hope that this works for you

May be due to low RAM memory. There may be many reasons for this problem. I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems. Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
