Virus scan
Run a memcheck CD-rom to make sure your memory isn't shagged.
Make sure you've cleaned the vent holes of dust (? overheating)
Install a program like Speedfan and keep an eye on the CPU temperature
Check the error log when you reboot
Try starting in safe mode....

Likely something badly behaved running in the background grabing resources and not releasing them.
Download a copy of hijackthis and clear out everything except the stuff you really use.

If that dosen't work if you have any Norton/Symantec software uninstaling that.
