    PC slow, hangs after several hours of usage.


    Ok so, this past week my computer started to get slow after being on for some random amount of time. It doesn't happen after I do anything, just during normal usage. Start menu items will take from 3 seconds up to a minute to launch.

    Performance is fairly normal:
    CPU usage could be 0-3% for firefox (rest on idle)
    Ram 15-25% running Firefox, Steam, Logitech stuff, explorer, host services, etc.

    -Resource monitor seems fairly normal.
    -Windows up-to-date.
    -Bios up-to-date
    -all known drivers up-to-date
    -Mbam = nothing.
    -sfc /scannow = nothing
    -Registry cleaned
    -I only have 10k files indexed.
    -120gb OCZ Vertex 3, 70gb free. Firmware updated.

    Temps are normal, drive health is good.


    I've run out of ideas. Thanks for any help.

    I am sorta taking a shot in the dark here but it does sound like it could be a not enough ram issue. How much ram does it show you are using and how much is installed?
