I am having problems getting my home built computer to perform properly. For some reason my system is bogging down with little to know processes running. I will run one program like winrar and my system will bog down and show 100% usage. I have included all my system components and operating system. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks very much for all the help. i have tweaked the hell out of windows.. and they are brand new hard drives..i just dont know where else to look i even have tried abit as well as others...
Well, is it at 100% the whole time you use it? Because if it's only when it starts it's normal. But I still say to get a dual channel 1GB kit of memory for that thing or you aren't getting the most out of that wickedly fast 4000+.
If you wanna game I'd find out what card slot you have and get a video card... other than that... no.
