Hey thanks for the people who atleast read this topic....anyway the problem is that my computer does fine and everything but every now and than my computer will slow down for 3 minutes and than go back to normal but 5 minutes after that it will do its slow processin again. im not sure wuts wrong. i can have 1 thing up on the screen and it will still do the slow thing.
But it specially does it in games. i cant play no games without it doin the problem. im thinken its maybe my graphics card. Well here is my specs.
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz
1.79 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
NVIDIA Geforce 2 MX 100/200
Thanks in Advance, If Any More Info Needed Just Ask.

Sounds like its either using up all the systems RAM or whens the last time the case was opened and all the dust blown out?.
Thats an older game (2000) and that system "should" be able to run OK. Did it ever run it fine or is this a new problem?
Overall, you may be able to get a little better performance with a new card, but most new games want an system thats overall better with a PCI-E 16x slot for graphics and yours is AGP which hasnt been built into mainstream motherboards for roughly 4-5 years.

Did you reboot your computer? Also, defrag your hard drive.

When you say nuked, do you mean that you did the Format C: route? If so, then it appears that you may a hardware problem.
