ok before it was just lag, but now the computer is freezing.

it usually freezes when i'm running a program like ms word, firefox, and basically anything that takes up space on the screen. it froze once while i was trying to type this message. o.o;; i have AIM, MSN, and Ares running whenever the computer is on.

oh and my cpu is intel celeron

yeah i know 256 is pretty low for nowadays. i'm probably gonna have to reformat if this keeps up..

Yeah, celerons and 256mb aren't very good for more intensive tasks. You might want to move up to a pentium 4 and at least 512mb (1 gb would be better if your motherboard supports it).

Don't reformat though. Run a HijackThis scan and post it here.
