Hello again.

Most of the times when I close a program my PC hangs for a little bit(like 5 seconds). Then it will work normally again. And once everyday my PC hangs for like 5+ seconds even if I'm not doing something or when I just play games

I didn't experience this before, I experienced this for the past several months.
By the way my PC is like 3 yrs. old or something, never been reformatted even though i got attacked by 2 spywares which I was able to clean.

So could anyone please help me with this?It is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

- Matthew

At 3yrs a computer still works, but it wont work as well as a newer one. I have an 8yr old one and the thing will crash just because i open a second tab in Explorer. If i were you, i would first run an antivirus scan (AVG works great) and then, if there are viruses, try to clean them up. If you cant clean them up, then you are going to need to back all your stuff up and reformat. If there are no virses, then its just your computers age kicking in.

I've experienced this, turned out to be a dodgy PSU.

Okay I will do a full system scan. Btw, I'm using Avira AntiVirus.
Thanks
