    Aaarrghh!!! I keep on lagging all the time!!! Just now it frozed for like 10mins! And I kept going end task. Soo bloody annoying!! Especially when you talking to someone on MSN and they about to go then all the sudden your computer lags and you can't type!!! Its like if your ignoring them or your in the mood cos he/she going offline!!

    How much do you hate it? How often does this happen to you? And how can we stop lagging?!?!

    Hate it with a passion. Good thing it doesnt happen often to me. Best is to format computer, because generally its some softwares that cause it to freeze. If formatting is too much of a problem, try to do a "restore to an earlier point" where you remember that there was no freezing issue. :)

    it can be because there is a process or app that is using up your most of your resources like CPU and memory or that you have too many apps on at the same time

    if you press ctrl+alt+del and click on processes tag you can find out what is slowing you down

    there is another possiblity that a virus might be causing your pc to lag and freeze and crash (which i experienced before and i had to reformat :p)

    also too much crap on your pc that cause lag you can use ccleaner to remove all that

    Your PC can't lag if you understood what the word actually means. As for your problem, I suggest upgrading all your drivers(i.e. chipset, graphics etc.), that may improve situation, if not, reformatting is the best option or doing a full system check. Removing useless applications that you don't need open in the background can also improve performance.

    And we all know who you are referring to, right...hahaha...
    Now, sd1988 supposed problem.
    What exactly are you doing when it so called "lags"?
    Most importantly, would you happen to have the specs for your system?
    From your other post it implies you have spyware/antivirus protection, right?

    there's a diff between hard drive memory and system memory(Ram) more Ram would allow you to run more programs and at times faster...

    tech moves on so fast nothing is ever up to date :p

    to stop a pc lagging, reformat and stop installing crap otherwise you will just have to reformat every 6 months

    unless ur an expert at finding and removing the actual causes, more hassle than its worth

    back to the topic: since u know how to go to end task, you might want to check what's using up alot of the resources. and determine if you really need that. also check for spywares <~ those suckers tend to suck up all the resources. And add RAM, that will help too.

    How much ram do you have? Cuz like Ecko said, more Ram would allow you to run more programs and at times faster...". You probably have some applications that are using up a lot of your ram.
