Well, the computer doesn't "freeze" but it's incredibly slow... like if I move the mouse it will respond about 30 seconds later. I also can't minimize or anything, because it's just way too slow, if I manage to minimize, it's still the same... so what I have to do is, ctrl+alt+del and end firefox.exe.. or if it's not responding, sometimes I'm forced to shutdown manually..

I have tried watching videos, any format, with Winamp, WMP, Realplayer, and Quicktime, all freeze. But I can watch videos from http://www.youtube.com/ for some reason..

Any ideas guys? As this is really annoying some times

I have 768mb, and I just reboot my computer, so nothing has been open.
Also, this even happened, right after I reformat my computer. I am using XP Pro with SP2, before I was using Home and had no problems like this..
