it finally happened. my computer got slow. i built my pc in january of '07, and now its starting to show its age. i am waiting a long [bleep] time for the computer just to start up. sometimes firefox doesnt even load when i boot it up. im not sure what to do. i have a lot of recommended programs, but do i need a hardware upgrade or is there some way i could make my pc a little faster like it used to be?
My specs: AMD athlon 64 4000+, 2gb of DDR ram, Geforce 7600GS pci-express graphics card, 320gb sata hd, 450w psu, and a machspeed MSNV-939 socket 939 mobo.
i know that i can newer parts for cheaper instead of trying to buy older ones.(i read the new maximum pc article and it did just that)
Please let me know if i can get some more life outta this baby

Hi hoopsman. I think it would be an excellent idea to make sure you have not picked up any malware before you do anything else. Malware is the cause of a lot of the slow downs people are experiencing with their computers.

Go to the Malware Forum and run all the steps located in the START HERE. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post a HiJackThis Log in THAT forum. If you are unable to run and/or post a HJT log, then post that in your initial post in the topic you create in that forum.

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).
