Very slow speed of VGN-FW-21M

Hi!
Posting problem for the first time.

I purchased Vaio VGN-FW-21M on 23-Nov-2008. I have updated all the drivers on the computer. Once my computer crashed and recovered itself. It diagonised the problem as old driver for graphic card. I have now updated the graphic card driver (by internet).

Since I bought this computer, this computer is very slow. Even if no programme is running (except for the operating system), the CPU usage shown is never below 80% and RAM Usage is never below 45%. If I check my mail (or working on MS-Office) and no other programme is running, CPU usage shown is 100%. It takes time to appear what I have typed. The hard-drive light keeps always blinking.

The operating system is WIndows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack - 1 (loaded with the computer when purchased).
Please help me out. (My old desktoop Pentimu 4 with only 256 MB of RAM with Windows XP is faster!)
Regards,
Dharmendra

My guess is you either have a virus of some sort or your o/s system has become corrupted.

Have your tried to run a registry cleaner...? I would try doing this to see if there is any improvements. Failing that i would do a complete system re-install...!
