Hi all. I am not a gamer and mostly use system for internet and working with photos. I built this system with these components;

1. Galaxy GeForce 8400 GS Video Card - 256MB DDR2

2. MB GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P P45 775

3. CPU INTEL|C2D E8500 3.16G 775 45N

4. MEM 2Gx2|CORS TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF

5. CPUCOOLER|ARCTIC P4|ACFZ7-PRO

6. Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3160815A 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache

I run Advanced System Care Pro daily, Malwarebytes, and Avira Anti-Vir that I keep up to date. When I close any program or open any program their is a delay of at least 2 seconds..sometimes much more.
Please, I would appreciate any help.

check your temps and volts in the bios and post them

have you run a disk cleanup and defrag

Thanks for answering. I have Zalman ZM400BAPS 400W. Yes, defrag & disk cleanup done.
check your temps and volts in the bios and post them I don't know how to check voltage? System temp is 39C and CPU temp is 31C.

Could that be causing the slow response time? I didn't realize that. I am using the PSU from my last build and thought without gaming and such, it would be adequate...thanks...will try that.

Also, I installed Advanced System Care Pro and found that my computer was doing the same thing. I unistalled it and everything was back to normal. I think that it has something to do with that program tweaking things for performance that was causing it.

Interesting because Advanced System Care Pro is a new program for me...i'll try that too...thanks.
