Hi, I just registered here and I have a seriously annoying problem. My computer is lagging every one to two seconds. Everything is affected, though it's most annoying dealing with audio and video. It seems to happen when I overload the computer with audio programs, such as FL Studio and Audacity. However, this has happened before and has lasted for days on end. It eventually disappears. I'm almost certain it isn't malware. I'm running a Compaq Presario SR1620NX. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I'm running XP, Panda Titanium AntiVirus, and don't really bother to update the computer.
