Very random slow downs on Dell XPS PC

by pc&web . Updated 16 years, 5 months ago

Dell XPS 600, 64-bit, Windows Vista Business
I just wiped it all clean and rebuilt it. It did this problem behavior before.

This is a great computer yet every once in a while this strange “slowness” happens. When this happens anything I click takes minutes to occur. The mouse freezes, usually but not always. Even if I restart the computer it continues. I get frustrated and leave. When I come back (hours later) it is all good and fast again. I have yet to ‘outlast’ this slow period to see when it suddenly gets fast again.

It also, while using it in its normal fast mode, will have a few seconds of doing nothing

Does anyone have any words of experience of where to start troubleshooting this?
