I need help, my Windows 7 Home Premium has become very, very slow. If I try to do anything, the program simply stops responding. I can turn on and log into the computer fine, but once it starts loading up, everything slows down. I click on the Start Menu? Not responding. Open Windows Explorer? Not responding. Open the Task Manager to close program? Task Manager is not responding. Only after several minutes do the programs become responsive again, but once I try anything else it goes back to being unresponsive. I've tried doing a system restore from three different points, all failed, and just now realized I should try starting in Safe Mode (yeah, I'm bad with computers like that), although currently I'm attempting a virus scan with AVG. I've resorted to typing this out on my phone, can you guys help out?
EDIT: gave up on virus scan, manually restarted in Safe Mode with networking. Everything was relatively quick again. Got distracted and looked at Tumblr for a few minutes. System abruptly shut off, presumably from overheating. I'm really bad at this.
