One day I was turning on my computer and it came on but would not go to the Windows log on screen, i blew it off and thought it was over heated or something and would use it the next day fine. but ever since that one day my comp has been running slow as [bleep], the sound lags, games lags, everything lags, and it takes forever to start up, sometimes going through the windows loading screen 3 times! i've downloaded virus scan after virus scan but i could not find anything. this is really getting to be a pain and i liked to know what it is, how to stop it, and how to prevent it!!
