what i'd suggest u is to go to My computer properties-advanced and then visual setting/performance. There select da option Adjust for da best performance, click ok and apply that. Then restart ur comp. Yes abt ur a/v dont use Norton 06 as it needs hell of a memory and eats almost 80% of ur resources. Better switch to Kaspersky or D BEST NOD32. Question of spyware and malware..so u can use some other stand alone application. This will help u and will fasten ur comp by 40% more :)
About ur ram u can upgrade ur ram to 512/1gb now itself.. and get another 1gb stick when VISTA is released.
This is wht i'd suggest u to do and wud have done myself if it was my own problem.

This SHUD give u relief :)

What is processor usage ? , check out in task manager if any taking 100% CPU.

How is it shutting down ? illegal shutdown ? or with shutdown screen ?

Second is , check in event log if any error. To view event log , goto Control Pannel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer

FIRST UNINSTALL NORTON ANTIVIRUS

Its the biggest bloatware EVER
Click to expand...
Kumar is right , First uninstall Norton 06, Use Kaspersky or Nod 32
For antispyware use a-squared anti spyware
