Things i have tried:
Updating all drivers to 64bit even chipset

Tweaked services I dont need

Disabled services/startup programs i dont need

Configured BIOS to right settings

Taken out RAM and switched around

Tried enabling/disabling PAE

Clean Install

Latest Windows Updates

Flashed to latest BIOS

And other things i cant remember

Check all the processes that are running.

Did you upgrade from XP to Vista? Was your computer slow with XP?

Is Steam updating?

Could your computer be defragging?

Get tune up utilities 2009 use youtube and get a key. Then go on performance advisor and see whats using the most memory/cpu. I had that problem but it was AVG 8 that was causing it, it made my pc lag loads, try avira antivir personal (free) its very good :D :p:):D

Hi tomcool21, seems like you have done pretty much everything; how about run chkdsk to see if the HDD okay. To this point, it is likely that it is having some problem in accessing data in your HDD. If you HDD is okay, check the SATA connection buy disconnect and reconnect, wiggle, shake, and tug on the connector at the HDD. Replace them with aftermarket one when you have a chance. Loosen SATA cable is a known cause for problem as such.

Hope this helps.
