i'm gonna try to reset bios first, if that doesn't work i'm going to reinstall windows.
Because the problem is that my system was fast in the first place.

That sounds like the best path. BTW, did Windows update itself and install IE7 or something?

turned off win update the moment i installed windows.

If you have System Restore enabled I'd do that first. Take it back to the date when it was working.

not a bad idea, never thought of that myself, stupid me.

also check another thing... its a long shot but here goes...

about 2 months ago I had weird issues like random rebooting, and slow hibernate and resume. Well my IDE cable (where I cut off the secondary IDE) was grounding on metal every once in awhile.. Check it out for good measure.
