Problem:
My PC just slowed down big time. It used to boot up fast but now it takes a lot of time to do so. Opening games or applications is so hard to do. I used to boot up around 50-60 seconds now it takes more than that. I know something is wrong since this is not how my pc behaves. And just very recently, my pc just died on me without me doing anything. Like *poof* and its dead. I turned it on and now its so slow.
Previous events:
I recently upgraded my casing so I have to setup everything from scratch. But after running my pc for 3-4 days, everything was smooth, except for a certain game which I used to run without any errors. The error was about memory as what I have searched and is common. But this only occurred after I changed casing.
What I have done so far:
1. Unplugged everything and reset pc since it died on me.
2. Opened casing again and removed memory. (did the eraser thingy which I used to do, done this more than once)
3. Checked wiring and made sure its securely connected.
Questions:
1. What could be the cause to this?
2. What can be done?
3. What test or procedures do I need to perform to diagnose this?
PC SPECS: (if needed)
Win7 ultimate

Any help will be appreciated... Just want to do all possible troubleshooting before I do the final test... reformat
