Ok, a year ago, I could play anything with no lag at all, then it started to suck, couldnt even play hl2
It recovered from that now, but I still get lag spikes every 2 minutes from games such as tf2.

Does anyone know what could be doing this?
I've only used 73/222 gigs :/

It doesn't matter how much hard drive space you used.

It matters what you're currently running. Reformat is actually the handicap's way out unless there's absolutely no other option.

Try making stuff NOT run on startup.

Anything you downloaded since you noticed the problem?
