I want to know why my motherboard is lagging so bad in the os. opening programs and even the cursor lag for a few seconds then the cpu usage spikes.

M2N868-LA motherboard
2GB ram
AMD athlon 64x2 4000+
2 TB Seagate
560GB western digital
Nvidia Geforce 760 graphics card.

Download Process explorer and run it as admin (it comes from Microsoft so its safe)

the default view is tree structure meaning like your task manager screen, it will show what processes are under services, but unlike the other one, it shows the ram usage of each part so you can see what is eating your ram

Private bytes = actual ram usage
Working set = Ram + page file usage

This page shows what all the colours and headings mean, link at bottom of it shows how to use it to find problems. You can right click headers and run an av scan from within the program.
