Default Re: Is there a cure to my {suspected} over-heating problem??

The lag is almost definitely a RAM issue. The lag you experience is the delay when the computer has to hit the hard drive. I don't have much experience with spyware though, so I defer to more expert opinions on if that could be causing the thrashing thats slowing your computer down.

My Dell laptop (Inspiron 9200 I think) had a problem where if you closed it and it went into hibernation it would move the contents of RAM to the hard drive and shut down (as it is suppose to) but when you tried to wake it up it wouldn't move stuff back and the computer was unusably slow. You had to restart. I highly doubt that is your problem, but if you experience this problem after your laptop goes to sleep...
