Lately whenever i try to open some applications my computer hangs. The main ones are AIM and Internet explorer (this is just a temporary freeze which goes back to normal, then i can use them) and also Dreamweaver and photoshop (these completely lock my comp up, however its not locked all the time, it will unlock about every 20 seconds for 5 seconds). As far as i can tell its not overheating, and i dont have any adware/viruses i can find. Anyone have any ideas?

Specs:
Pentium 4 2.6 ghz
1 gb ram pc3200
ATI Radeon 9600
848-P Neo-V Mobo (pretty sure on model number).

PS. I use firefox as my main browser and it doesnt freeze opening that.
