PC Problems - Help needed!

[smrgol]

My PC, a Gateway FX6800 series quad four processor runnning Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, has slowed down to a crawl.

I'm talking half hour plus boot times and several minute browser page openings or program starts.
And stuff hangs for minutes once you are running it.

Every now and then it'll act "normal" but it's at the point of being almost useless otherwise.


Any suggestions?

Well, I assumed that Smrgol knew how to do that thing anyway recently. But even though Microsoft has made some leeway in this, windows can still get bloated with bits left here and there with software that leaves behind stuff whenever things are uninstalled.

Then again windows is over bloated anyways these days.
