    Event viewer, tons of same errors every day

    In event viewer I see 20 or so logs that say this

    The windows desktop manager is experiencing heavy resource contention
    reason: graphics subsystem recources are over utilized
    diagnosis: A consistent degradation in frame rate was observed over time

    log name- Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational

    source- Diagnostics-Performance

    event id 501

    level- warning

    user- LOCAL SERVICE

    op code- Video Memory Responsiveness

    what the heck. Im safe on the net and dont do graphic intensive things????

    You are using a low-end class 5 (geforce 6150) with shared memory.

    In vista the GPU is part of a video subsystem meant to take the graphics related tasks off the CPU. Ideally this would have its own Video ram. In your case it doesnt, and cannot handle the offloading of the video tasks efficiently. i.e. the video subsystem is over utilized, and thus the errors.

    Look at it like trying to empty (offload) a 12 Gal tank using a shotglass.

    Perhaps you should run the diagnostic and perform a disk check

    depends on your cpu, and the HDD

    Might want to also run a system file check for integrity issues.
    run CMD as Admin:
    sfc /scannow
