[DOH!]

Hello guys, I dont know how long it has been going on, but for about a week now it has gotten really bad. My computer is running terribly slow, and I will do my best to explain the situation, so here goes. I play many games on my computer, and basically all I built it for. I notice during CS, it doesnt lag, but my FPS drop to 5.5-7.5 for about 10 seconds. After that it will be fine for about another minute or two, and then it will drop again.

I had noticed it would do that on other games like WoW, and even internet based mmorpgs like RuneScape and such. Even when winamp is playing, it will skip for a good 5 seconds or so. I also noticed that my start menu, does not show submenus. So I have lost alot of access to key things from Start menu.

Someone else been having these problems, cause mine just popped up not to long ago.
