I had a similar problem, on an older PC where the thing would work for 20 -30 minutes before slowing and sometimes crashing. It was traced to a faulty fan, which cause the thing to overheat, and I had to wait till it cooled down till it worked again before the whole cycle begun again! Don't know if it is similar as I'm no computer expert.

You're not running ZoneAlarm by any chance, are you? I've had ZoneAlarm do this to my laptop before I uninstalled it.

Do you keep ALL your temp files to a minimum.

Remove temp internet files, keep your recycle bin empty.

After that run a Defrag on your HDD, If you have never run 1 it will probably take a while to complete.
