Default Bizarre performance issue


I've got a three-week-old HP system with a quad-core processor, 6GB of
RAM, etc. In other words, it's loaded. (OS: Vista x64)

A couple days after I got the machine, it suddenly started running slow
as molasses. Never did figure out why, but after a couple hours it was
back to normal.

About a week later, same thing: a few hours of incredibly sluggish
performance, then back to normal.

It's happened once or twice since then, and as of today, it's now a
full-time slowpoke. I really don't suspect (and haven't found) any
virus/malware activity, as it wouldn't explain why the system perked up
again after a few hours.

Anyone have any thoughts? Pretty desperate at this point.

TIA!
Rick
