I am having problems getting my home built computer to perform properly. For some reason my system is bogging down with little to know processes running. I will run one program like WinRAR and my system will bog down and show 100% usage. I have included all my system components and operating system. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.
CPU Specs
? AOC Evercool / Socket 754/939/940 / Aluminum / CPU Cooling Fan
? ABIT KN8 NVIDIA Socket 939 ATX Motherboard / Audio / PCI Express / Gigabit LAN / S/PDIF / USB 2.0 / Serial ATA / RAID
? AMD Athlon 64 4000 SanDiego Core Socket 939 CPU
? Ultra 256MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory
? Windows XP Pro
? Seagate 250GB Serial ATA w/NCQ 7200/8MB/SATA-3G
? Seagate 400GB EIDE HD 7200/8MB/ATA-100
? Diablo / 550-Watt / ATX / Dual 80mm LED Fan / SATA-Ready / 20-Pin / Power Supply
if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Well, is it at 100% the whole time you use it? Because if it's only when it starts it's normal.
But I still say to get a dual channel 1GB kit of memory for that thing or you aren't getting the most out of that wickedly fast 4000+.

If you wanna game I'd find out what card slot you have and get a video card... other than that... no.
