Your computer specs look fine, I can't see any issues in Autoruns log.

Temperatures look fine.

Process Explorer log looks fine with System Idle Process (CPU NOT used) at 93.85%.

Let's try something...

Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all

Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.

Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.

NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.

Same problem?

[Lee Birtle]

Hey,
I have done what you said.
But my computer is still going slow and my hard disk drive (E:) is still not working. my hard disk drive is on because the light is on and it makes the noise like it was working, but when i go to my computer then disk drive (E:) it comes up and says its corrupt.

[Broni]

Turn computer off. Unplug external hard drive.
Start computer. Same slowness?

[Lee Birtle]

Yep, computer still going slow, and external hard disk drive (E:) is still not working.
