Hi happyrck: hope you don't mind.

1: it looks like you have lots of processes running unnecessarily in the background. Click Start > Run. Type msconfig and press Enter. Check Selective Mode and click Startup. Uncheck everything which is not connected to anti-malware and firewall. Confirm and reboot. Check the message that shows up after reboot.


2: The fact that the slowdown starts an hour or so after you start using your computer can indicate to over heating buildup. Many computers have a feature in their BIOS that limits CPU performance to avoid damage. Please download Everest from the link in my list, install and run it. When the computer slows down click Computer and then Sensor. Let the table fill up and report CPU, motherboard and hard disk temperatures.


Hey there The Skeptic,

So for the first notion you've said, I tried it and after rebooting there was no message that showed up after reboot.

Okay, I've gotten the Everest Item downloaded and am Running for the time being then report once computer slows down. I'll get back to you once the slowdown happens.

Hey there happyrock,

Yes I am running Windows Vista(32-bit Basic), but it isn't an OEM.
