Interrupt requests or problems with other hardware devices may have occupied the CPU and therefore slows down the system performance.

The files are corrupted

Run the Error-checking utility in Windows to check the HDD. Double-click My Computer. Right-click C: and select Properties. Click Check Now in Error-checking in Tools.
