run scandisk
defrag your harddisk

do the above for all your hard disks

then click on start
click on programs
click on startup
and delete all the items in start up (select items in startup then right click and delete)
chek there is any antivirus program that automatically loads when u start, if so disable and u only run periodically
search for *.tmp files on ur hard disk and delete them

click on start - programs - administrative tools and see each option and clear what ever is not required.

if none of the above works,

take a backup of your data
then re-format your system
then reinstall your software
then copy back your data

if the above also does not solve your problem

then upgrade ram
upgrade processor
upgrade harddisk

if all of the above does not solve ur problem then sell ur PC to me for Rs. 10 (INR - Indian Rupee) or throw it outside of your window.
