Most likely something, or multiple things running in the background. Do you
use 3d party anti virus, spyware, and so forth? If so try the free one from
Microsoft. Delete the old stuff before you install the new. Then see what it
does. I have been using it on several PC's for a while now and it seems to
be working great on XP, Vista and Win. 7.
