Windows 7 hangs while running multiple programs.

[srinisid]

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

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 .

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.

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?
