Windows 7 is running slow!

Lately I am having trouble with my Computer which is running slow and not responding lately. For some reason my computer will randomly go in to sleep mode right in the middle of a game or doing something important. When I finish working with a high CPU/Ram program is takes my computer several minutes to fully recover from using that application. Programs will suddenly not respond and I don't know why. I am about 99.99% sure I do not have a virus or any type of spyware on my computer.

I am running:
AMD dual core 2.8GHz
2Gb of DDR2 667
250Gh HD

I run defraggler on a monthly basis
I run ccleaner daily
Scan for virus and what not weekly.

I was hoping someone can help me get to the bottom of this before I end up just wiping my whole computer!

Hi -

If system going to sleep during usage, check Power Options
START | type power | "Power Options" | select power plan | reset defaults

Be sure ALL Windows Updates are installed --> www.update.micrososft.com

Same with device drivers - video, audio, networking. Go directly to device manufacturer's web site if possible, i.e., Intel, NVIDIA, etc. . .

Check temps with SpeedFan v4.41 --> http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

Use compressed air to blow out vents, but don't spray directly into vents as it may damage fan blades.

Regards. . .
