Post exactly what you've done right before you started having problems. A list of the software you've installed might be helpful, too.

512 Ram isn't that much, I'd invest in more if I was you. I have 4GBs and it's killing me how slow it is. Also, what kind of processor do you have and how much GHZs?

Are you up-to-date with Microsoft's Service Packs and updates?
Are you motherboard drivers up-to-date?

I've moved this to the laptop support, I am not feeling that it is software related at this point.
