Window Suddent slow down

[phimtau123]

Hey I'm running a Pentium D cpu with window xp professional version 2002 with service pack 2. My computer also have 2gb of ram.

Well everything was running smooth and then 3 day ago my computer suddenly turn off and restart by itself. Then after that everything have just been running very very slow, and sometime it would frooze. I ran several virus scan with NOD32 and trend online scan and also adware and spybot for adware or virus but nothing came up. I've been monintoring the process running and the cpu usage but nothing look suspicious....Any idea on this?

Thank in advance

Try System Restore and go back about 5-6 days.

Here is how to do it in case you don't know how...
Follow these steps:
1. Go to Control Panel (catagory view)
2. Click on Performance and Maintenance
3. At the left side under 'See Also' click on System Restore
When you're in the System Restore Menu
1. Make sure the 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' circle is ticked and click Next
2. In the small calender, click on a date 2 days before today and click Next
3. Make sure all programs are closed and click Next again.
The computer will take slightly longer to boot but you won't loose anything like recently saved work but recently installed programs might be uninstalled.
