I built my machine Summer-ish 2003. I've had to replace and upgrade here or there since then but it's been in its surrent configuration for about a year. I have never had any trouble from it, not just random slowness, anyway. Probably 2 months ago, start-up started taking much, much longer. Also, it takes longer to open even simple programs, like Internet Explorer. If I'm playing media, often the video or audio will drag for anywhere from a second to 5 seconds, until the program gets up and running. I've scanned for both viruses and spyware and I'm clean. A guy I know told me that hard drives on Windows start to lag a lot when they hit 50% capacity and that's right around where I'm at but it seems odd to me that the change was so drastic and instant. My hardware is still sufficient for what I'm running. Ideas?
