Ok, lately my computer got a bit slow. It's working like a snail with about any application. I mainly noticed this while trying to play Half-Life 2: although my system is way over the recommended specs, I get an average fps of about 13 :|. Putting the details, effects and resolution on MINIMUM did not make much of a difference. The only things that actually worked were closing some processes that were eating from the RAM and setting the half-life process' priority to real-time.
At first I thought I've got some malware and I went drastically and reinstalled windows and cleaned out the system. I reinstall Half-Life, etc... guess what: same low fps :banghead:.
It seems really odd to me, as this system is good even on today's standards and Half-Life 2 is pretty old. Besides, I played Half-Life 2 Episode 2 about an year ago, on full details and with a weaker graphics card with higher fps . I have no idea what to do, can you guys help me?
Notice that it's not only about the game, it happens in other programs as well, that's why I posted here.

If you need to find out anything else, ask.
