Hello. I just recently installed a new mobo with cpu, ram, and psu. Windows recognized all this and did its thing when I started the first time installing drivers and stuff. Everything went smooth but randomly I go to open like Internet explorer or my computer or any other program and it hangs for like 60 some seconds. I was typing up something in word when I tried to open my computer. It started to hang so I went back to typing but to find that when I typed one letter wit took a few seconds for it to be on screen. Everything becomes laggy and stalls. It is not the same application over and over it is totally random. Any Ideas?

I installed a MSI K7N2 with a XP2200+ with 512 Crucial ram and a 450-watt power supply. I used the same Hard Drive.

I was working some more on the comp and it doesnt just hang when ever u open something, it does it even when ur just sitting there typing....
