My PC configuration is:-
Processor- Intel Core2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93Ghz
Motherboard- XFX MG-63MI-7109
RAM- 4GB
Hard Disk- 232GB
Graphic Card- Ati Radeon 6850 HD "1GB"
Operating System-Windows 7 32-bit

I defragmented my hard disk, scanned for any viruses "nothing found" did all the tweaks & tricks i could:-x, then the last thing i did was formatted my PC but to the surprise my computer still lags and all my games lags too, what might be the problem PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME.

Clean the cabinet. Check the Hardware Temps. CPU tends to slow down when temp goes up.

4GB? It must show(and use) something less in Windows 7 32 bit. Install a 64-bit OS.

Clean up the Temp folder and close Unnecessary application from task manager and from processes tab and reduce Unnecessary start up application by UN checking then in MS config menu if possible ..
Hope this help

@ OP - check your HDD for bad sectors ... use win7 x64 with SP1 and install all latest updates for the OS and hardware drivers and tell us in details what type of lag you are facing.

what is the model No. of the Hard drive u r using. It maybe of less RPM if not, Get a new SSD for the windows OS and use your current HDD as storage Drive.

I think it was due to overheating which Op has fixed by cleaning the cabinets and other components.
