yes, i scanned it for viruses, i got rid of adware, i scanned the hard drive for errors, i even updated the driver for the processor... i right click on my computer and go to properties, it says it's running slower than it should be, but if i keep restarting the computer it will eventually say 2.19 (roughly the max), right now it says 797 MHz which is much slower than it should be, about 1/3? also, many programs will freeze, but it's not specific programs, well, it is, but other things will freeze a lot too, my poker program has been freezing everytime (it worked fine on my other computer), but it worked before on this one, too, just a few days ago (this is practically brand new), but other things have frozen too, just randomly, sometimes just clicking different links inside "my computer" will freeze it (and ctrl alt delete won't close it either, it's just frozen)... i assumed these things were linked, how could i have two different problems with a brand new computer? help!
