thing at a time, so i have to choose carefully, as they wont close
without using cntrl, alt, del.
I tried to run anti virus today but it was going so slowly it took 7
1/2 hours, then I stopped it, but up till then it hadnt found any
threats.
I tried to do disc clean up, to delete temp files etc, but even that
took 1 1/2 hours before crashing.
Free space is 71%
I havent installed anything before this started happening, and Im not
sure what I can do to find any cause.
I would be very greatful for any advise.
Thanks

Sounds like a hardware problem. See "Hardware Troubleshooting" at:

One other idea: your hard drive may have reverted to PIO mode. See:

Followed the link, and checked but it was all set okay. Thanks though.
