What OS are you using?

Look at your virtual memory settings. Should be 1-2.5 times your physical RAM.

Look at what programs are installed when you first boot and thus eat up system resources (Win98 or above --> Start --> Run --> msconfig -->selective startup --> startup tab --> and uncheck the programs you do not use regularly -- systray and explore should be left checked as Windows needs those two to operate).

Probably something running in TSR memory has a memory leak and is causing the problem. But this can be caused by many things, and you need to go through your list of programs (control Panel --> add/remove programs) and uninstall what you do not use/need.
