I just finished installing everything in my new computer I built yesterday (specs below). It has barley any programs and somtimes a program will take forever to load and somtimes it stops responding. Somtimes Internet Explorer will take up to 20 or 30 sec. to load and just randomly (like it will only do that once every 3 or 4 times i start up IE). Any1 know why this could be happening?? Plz Help!!

Just a quick question when you say " just finished installing everything" do you mean hardware...or does that include drivers for your motherboard, graphics card etc...? :)

Hmmmm, slow windows eh? Try defragmenting your drive. Run diagnostics and try testing your RAM for defective sectors. A good tool to use can be got from www.memtest86.com.

Also, a good tool that was built into Win XP is SFC (system file checker), open up a command prompt by going START --> RUN --> cmd and type in sfc.exe. Follow the onscreen instructions and it will restore any damaged windows files that it finds.

Hope this helps, dont forget to do all of windows error checking utilities.
