Try HD Tune it only gives information and does not fix any
problems.
Download and run it and see what it turns up. You want HD Tune
(freeware) version 2.55 not HD Tune Pro (not Freeware) version 3.00.

What type of internet connection do you have?
ADSL Broadband using a wired router. Not sure what speed but it's fine on
my laptop which uses the same router.
Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?
Total: 440044
Limit: 1532488
Peak: 528260
You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?
Peak:
TeaTimer.exe 104,284 K
System 59,508 K
explorer.exe 50,752 K
avgrsx.exe 45,584 K
svchost.exe 32,204 K

Do you leave your computer on 24/7?
No, it's on most of the day but shut down each night.
I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report . Open Disk
Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and click on Save
As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents Folder and post a
copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it is more
informative.
