hi ppl,
4 months ago i built a new pc.....

amd phenom quad core 9950 black edition 2.60ghz oc @ 3.2ghz
2gb ddr2 800mhz ram
ati radeon hd 2600 pro (will upgrade lol)
3 maxtor diamond max 9 120gb hdds (SATA)
1 maxtor diamond max 9 80gb hdd (IDE)
whitebox dvd-rw drive (IDE)

i havnt really noticed it before now but my new pc is starting to get sluggish
i have tried removing my overclock and installing a fresh windows vista - not much different

by sluggish i mean when i click to open something it open straight away but the inside of the window stay white and about 20 seconds later show the contents of the folder

I've found that this sometimes happens when your computer lags, just kill your explorer.exe and then restore it.

Or reboot.
Hi

Because this happened 4 months after PC built, I want to rule out software first.

Please follow the instructions from this post: http://www.techsupportforum.com/1871981-post2.html

Make sure you download the one for Vista. It says BSOD_Vista_v2-2_jcgriff2_.zip

The batch files will give me information I can use to see if there is a problem.

They are instructions provided by the Microsoft Tech jcgriff2 so you're in good hands :grin:
