The computer in question is a Compaq 5330US, Pentium 4, 512MB of SDRAM, 80Gbyte Ultradma Hard Drive. I am running XP home edition. While under warranty the system started running intermittently at a very slow speed. After a few seconds system speed would return to normal. The frequency of the slowdowns increased over several weeks . I worked with Compaq support several times with their final solution being to do a quick restore of XP. This did ot fix the problem so the system went to a service center where EVERYTHING was replaced. Got the system back and it has operated fine for about 9 months. Now that the warranty has expired the problem has returned. The slowdowns occur in any games, wp, analysis. etc..programs. Disconnection from the internet has no effect. Any ideas ?
thanks,
Jim
