My computer seems to lag when I leave it on for a week or so. How would I make it faster with specific software? The only times I've fixed it is reformatting(do not want). I am running CCleaner as we speak, would a defragment fix this problem?(I leave it on for torrenting)

Here are my specs:
3.2 ghz Phenom II X4 920 (OC'd from 2. Cool

2x2 1066 Fatal1y or some shit Ram
Samsung 640 GB hard drive
ATI Radeon Sapphire 4830

I was about to suggest CCleaner, then i read it.
Get JKDefrag.

Great program.

It's no huge deal to restart every once in a while, is it?
And no, a defrag probably wouldn't solve your problems.

Use TuneUp.

If switching to linux is more of a solution than it is a hassle - do it

otherwise - stop torrenting, or max out your disk cache options if you must.

Yeah, I heard that booting up everyday makes things screw up, but it seems like computers get slower if you leave it on for a long time? Just wondering if this can be fixed with software (using tuneup like Yaoi suggested)

@Safko: don't you recognize any drop in performance if you leave it on for a week? :\
