computer help

OK lemme say first off that I am not computer illiterate... as a matter of fact I built the system I'm using but im having an odd problem that has me stumped. I'm wondering if maybe someone can help...

ok first off... system specs

P4 2.66ghz 533FSB
Soyo Dragon Ultra Platinum P4x400 motherboard
512mb Corsair DDR400
80gig Maxtor HD w/ 8MB buffer
GeForce4 Ti4600
SB Audigy2
WinXP w/ SP1
and various other features that wouldnt relate

OK what happens is when I open any prog (sometimes not all the time) is that it just freezes... not permanently... just for like 10 seconds or so... but with this system that is unacceptable...

The odd thing is that while its frozen I can still minimize it and all so if I bring up my start menu and click on a different prog.. it like....... "pushes" them both along and they both pop open. I wouldn't have even bothered to post about this but it seems the problem is getting worse. I have run Nortons, scandisk, defragged, run a utility prog called Window Washer, andother one called RegEdit Gold, and all with no success at solving the problem. If someone could help I would appreciate it.

If nothing is solved then I guess a reinstall is in order... ::sigh::
