build is 1 month old and worked fine until now.
gigabyte 785G mb
dual core amd cpu
4gig 800 mhz ddr ram
500G WD sata hard drive.

The hard drive light stays pegged when the system goes to lag. cpu usage is 99% idle, 460 mb of ram used and it will take 5 minutes to open a window. I have run hijack this found nothing, have run malwarebytes and found nothing, cpu temp is 35C, ran wd tools on hard disk and it passes everytime. It does this still and I just did a repair install of win xp.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete \ Processes. What one is using the most CPU?

Well turns out that even though the drive passed all diagnostics it truely is bad. I cloned it to another drive I had and it runs like a top again. It severely bugs me diagnostics show something is good when its not. I would rather have no information than bad information.
Thanx all for the fast replies.
