Answer 1

Causes for a Slow PC - - -

1. Spyware, boggin it down
2. Too Many Processes Running in the Task Manager
3. Viruses
4. Programs Stealing Focus
5. Overheating

P.S. The CPU Fan will run constantly, it's when it stops running that you really worry...

Fixes: : :
1. Run Adaware SE Personal, Update the Definitions, Run a complete check for spyware...
2. Download and Run Spybot Search and Destroy, Deep Scan for Spyware, YES that's right two spyware scanners, but only run one at a time..
3. Run a Complete Antivirus Scan Again.
4. Get a can of compressed Air, turn PC off, let it cool down a minute, Remove case and blow the inside out real good, be careful not to touch any parts inside...
5. Delete all cookies and temporary files, make sure you have all your passwords for your internet sites before deleting the cookies and such..

This should help tremendously, if not then usually a reformat and reinstall of the OS should be performed at least every two years, this will revert the OS back to factory settings... Good Luck
