Look, my PC has been dragging its feet for a full week now... I’m honestly starting to doubt it’s just some indexing nonsense happening in the background.

Thanks to everyone for the assist—I finally got things sorted out. It turns out ESET NOD32 was basically tearing my entire system apart, so I’m currently running without any antivirus protection at all. If anyone happens to have a solid recommendation for a good antivirus program, I’d really appreciate the tip.

It’s like, as soon as I finish installing the drivers, everything just starts lagging out. It doesn't matter what I try to open—the whole computer just freezes up for maybe 10 or 15 seconds at a time. It’s pretty frustrating. Also, I should probably mention this, though I’m not sure if there’s even a connection... when I run the graphics driver installer, it won't automatically grab the .NET Framework for me. I have to go out, find it, download it separately, and then install it manually. Weirdly enough, I never had to deal with that back when I was running a 32-bit OS.

So, I ran into a bit of a headache recently right after I finished installing Windows 7 64-bit. My PC is just absolutely freezing up on me—it’s incredibly sluggish, which is a total curveball because everything runs perfectly fine when I’m using the 32-bit version. It's one of those frustrating tech hiccups that just stops you in your tracks. Here are my specs for anyone who might want to take a look: I'm running an ASRock N68-VS3 FX motherboard, an AMD Athlon II X2 270 at 3.4 GHz, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB HDD. If anyone has any advice or ideas on what I should try next to get this sorted out, I'd really appreciate the help.
