Problem with marquee tool

[sharlok]

Hi, I am using photoshop for last one year. But from a few days I am encountering a peculiar problem with my photoshop. When I select something by using the marquee tool (it can be any of marquee tools) it started fine but after some selection it automatically select the area and i have to start back from the starting point. I can't make out what actually is happening. I am here giving the specs of my computer and the screenshot of the performance window. I don't if they will be helpful or not.

My computer's spec:
processor -> Intel Dual Core 2.5GHz
MotherBoard -> Asus P5KPL AM PS
Graphics -> ATI READON 4650 HD
RAM -> 4GB DDR2
HDD => 1 TB

Screenshot of Performance

Please solve my problem because it's harming my work as lasso is a very important tool of photoshop and I can't use it.

I don't understand " after some selection it automatically select the area".
