Thats what I said before I lost all the files on my network due to a virus. You can't be sure that you don't get viruses if you don't scan regularly. Get AVG, and set it up to scan once a week, but not so every new file is scanned. Thats what I do, haven't had a problem in 6 months.
 
I didn't use quick format, it was a full.

I'm on Windows 2000, having just got rid of XP in attempt to fix it. So far, it seems faster although i'm getting "COM+" errors in my Eventlog, any ideas? and could this have been causing the problem in XP? As I had them in XP also.
 
I agree the benchmarks look fine. It does sound like a toasty mobo, though it could be having a problem with low power. My system ran sluggish with an enermax 465, now back on antec truepower trueblue 350 and it is fine.

Yes things can get this finnicky. Try a better PSU maybe, but I'd agree with an rma, atleast on that abit or the HDD, one or the other has gotta be the main problem. Low power would probably only effect you in big apps, not IE and system boot times...
 
I only have a Generic 350W at hand, would it be worth trying that? I know it's generic but it's higher wattage/amps..

Or, do BestBuy carry good PSUs that I could pickup, test, if it works and fixes great, if not, take back?

I have a single GB of RAM and I've never had a problem -- I even ran Halo and Call of Duty simultaneously with other miscellaneous apps without problems.

Photoshop doesn't seem to want to start without a paging file... But besides that, my 1gb is sufficient sans PF.
