run task manager and check to see which process is contributing to your cpu load. i always hate it when people choose to reformat their system instead of identifying the cause.

do not run internet explorer when you are playing. in fact, exit all non-essential applications.

Don't forget to run the free spyware programs, check to see if something has you by the 'balls'. :D

Spybot, SpywareBlaster and AdAware are the ones I use at least once a week.
