Desktop suddenly very slow, hard drive spinning...

[breckjensen]

I have a Lenovo desktop we bought maybe 18 months ago, with Windows 7 / 32-bit. The main user is my wife, and my kids use it occasionally too. We have some photos, a lot of E-Mails, some documents, but nothing in my mind that should be clogging the entire system. For the most part the computer ran just okay since the day we bought it - not super slow but never particularly fast (we have a cable connection). But suddenly a few days ago it just started running extremely slow for no apparent reason. It's slow on all applications, and a couple times when I restarted, it froze up on a black screen and didn't load up Windows. I've noticed the hard drive seems to be constantly working, on what I don't know. Possibly something is running in the background or somebody did something, but I'm at a total loss on what to do?

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
