After that buggy habit, it started slowing down and became like a Pentium 2 computer. The laptop is only 7-months old and also free of virus and spyware (Checked with McAfee virus shield which comes with spyware).
The programs which I installed into it does not cause the problem as I have previously installed it inside my normal computer.
The programs which I installed in the laptop has the same programs as the computer.

We had a similar problem with one of our laptops. We determined that it would slow down to P2 speed because it was running hot. You can diagnose the problem by getting a system monitoring utility. It should display CPU clock, CPU temperature, Battery charge/discharge rate, and HDD temperature (see link).
As far a fixing the problem. The DELL guy has already replaced the board and today he replaced the chip. If it still doesn't work, he said they will swap the drive into a new computer.

Are you connected to a wireless router? The router itself may be having problems. We had to replace our router last weekend because the internet kept going in and out at random times.

You could simply have alow battery and it does that to conserve power.
