Something is broken?
Okay so this is the story.

Over the last day or 2 my pc has beighn acting realy weird.
It slows dobnw to a crall sometimes and it even freezes without recovery after 1 hour of waiting.
The sounds also seems to stutter when pc gets heavy load on its work memory.

Could it be my GPU or CPu is actualy dying on me or could my cooling be dying?
Im concerned can somebuddy tel me what could be going wrong and how to fix it?

Specs:
CPU, Intel core doa 2(dual core) e4700 with 2,6 Ghz
2,4 gigs of work memory. i dont know about the clocking speds but i can look them up.

GFXcard, Nividea geForce 9600 GT

If u need any more tel me

you forgot specs
I just installed Win7 on my brother's laptop wich has the exactly same problem (kinda). Seems to be running fine tho.
Have you tried loading your GPU with something like FurMark, and your CPU with Prime95, if so, does it then happened? Or only in specific applications?

Are you on Vista Chris? And what is your sound driver?

reboot

press F8(just after bios screen and before windows loads)

choose Safe Mode

...does it still run slow?

The start up speed is pis poor the load my system can take is somehow pis poor now.
Somehow its even worse when i have internet on or MSN.
While normaly this is a walk in the park.

And when its under heavy laod my soudns stutters verry wierldy it sounds like a creapy robot.
My soundriver is a realtec HD audio wich speciffic model i have no cleu.

I think it's hardware (ram). Because OS shouldn't matter at booting.

Look in Task Manager if there's something putting a lot of load on the CPU.
download memtest86 here:

http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

burn the iso on to a CD using ImgBurn here:

Stick CD in drive and reboot machine. Let it run at least one full test run to check for a problem with your memory.

If the memory is fine download and run Sistem Information for Windows here:

http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html

Download the stand alone executable, run it and on the left hand menu select "sensors" under "hardware". Do it when you first boot up the machine and watch the temperatures, see if any start to rise.

Also check your machine for viruses, trojans or malware. Scan it with a decent AV and also run Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/index.php) and spybot S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html). When installing Spybot, just install the core application.
