Windows 7 hangs while running multiple programs.

HI everyone
I am a normal computer user and also an average gamer.
I never use my computer over 3 hours a day.
But recently i got caught up in some work that i used my PC for about 12 hours everyday for almost a week.
Recently my PC seems to be hanging.
It runs properly in the start up and doesnt hang there.
But as soon as i start a video or open some other programs it starts to hang.
suspecting my programs might be corrupted i reinstalled my programs but no use.
also wen i run two programs simultaneously both of them hangs and processes slowly than normal.
i checked my temp and it shows 60 C in my bios setup.
I am running a windows 7 32 bit ultimate.

AMD athlon II X4 630 2.8ghz
Kingston RAM 2 gb
N vidia 1 GB Graphics card
ASUS motherboard M2N68-AM SE2

the temp is high the max for that chip is 71c.have a look here.

you may want to have your heatsink and cpu cleaned and reset. you can also try opening your system up to let some cool air in it.

I think in more trouble.
I just cleaned it a month ago!
Its squeaky clean!
I think i will have to replace the cooling gel.

you didn't by chance change any settings in your bios did you ?
you asked about overclocking in your last post thats why i'm asking. if you did maybe it just a matter of resetting your bios .

scrooge

no no o dint do anything in bios!
And now that i observed it hangs only when i play videos filess of any format.
i reinstalled vlc but of no use.
Even windows media player is doing the same thing.
here is the actual temp.

Also i tried to increase the fan speed from the bios and set it to maximum.
I cleaned the heat sink and applied heat sink gel.
temperature has reduced.
But still its hanging like hell.
please help!

hey i used HD pro tune but icouldnt complete the bench mark testing and said read error.i did health check and showed 2 errors.but the error scan returned no error.wats d problem??
also i think it might be the click of death?is it possible?

try running chkdsk and see what it comes up with.

scrooge

had al my dives checked and only one drive reported error but was fixed.

I still had a problem with the hard disk even after doing chkdsk
Then i downloaded the seagate seatools for dos and ran it
It detected 1 error and repaired it and seems to work fine now.
but my HD tune still shows ultra DMA crc count.Its not somethin to worry right?
Thanks a ton scrooge!I owe you one!!!!
