    Check your power 4 gear mode. If it is set for battery save it down clocks the cpu. Also if your drive is close to capacity you may need to move or delete some of your larger files.

    It happened to me as well, and I found out that my HDD has bad sectors. After marking them and defragmenting, things got fine but still not 100% OK.
