About 2 days ago my system for some reason has slowed down almost twice as slow as it was before.

I used to load windows XP in about 30-40 seconds and now take near 2-3 mins to load up.

I also am having this problem with my game load times.

I checked for viruses and spy ware and all, I am at wits end as to what can cause this !


Any help would be GREAT !!!!
Specs
XP 2500 barton
asus A7N8X
1 Gig of DDR 2700 ram kingston
onboard sound
onboard nic
Radeon 9500 pro...

EVERYTHING is default.

alright man, here is my analysis of your log,

1. your infected with the SaveNow spyware.
2. you should not be running more than 1 real time antivirus software at the same time, running more than one in real time can cause, conflicts.
3. your infected with weathercast spyware.

Also I am wondering if BAD hardware could cause this I.E. Memory going bad, harddrive going bad....

is there a way to check these as well ?

Well I am lost since nothing seems to fix it and think it may be a hardware issue ! but I donot know how to check for their performance.
