Your pc need cleaning and optimization. Start with a antimalware scan (I suggest AwdCleaner free) then check in Task Manager all process your don't need everyday and disable them (I suggest AVG PC TuneUp Pro, it checks and corrects Win errors too, trial)

Which system you got? (CPU, Ram, Motherboard, video)
