I used to be able to have 5 or so webpages open, my AIM buddy list & a word document open and have no slowing down or any problems at all... Now, if i have my buddy list open and i go to check my email on the web, my computer just stops, the mouse stops, you cant press ctrl alt del and i have to shut the power strip to restart the computer. i dont know what happened, it just started doing this recently.
