Okay. So lately (the past few weeks) my computer every once in awhile starts running slow. It will run perfectly fine and then just randomly it slows down. To clear things up no I don't have a virus I ran AVG and got nothing. Yes my computer can handle a lot. It's 6GB ram. The most I run anyways is Chrome, Firefox, my documents, and bittorrent. I don't run 20 windows at a time or anything like that. I'm not downloading 50 games and 50 movies at once either or anything that would clearly slow down my computer. I actually used to download a lot more files at once and nothing went wrong.
I have no idea what is wrong. I used to be pretty good with computers but I have no idea what this is. I get no notifications from my computer of anything going wrong. Today my computer has run like crap. As I type this it's fine but it's slowed down and froze quite a few times. Doesn't matter what I'm doing. Even my task manager failed to start a few times. I didn't clear out my history in Chrome for awhile so I thought maybe that slowed it down a little, nope. I cleared that.
Any suggestions?

First - get this imo: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
(Just get the free version and just do a clean sweep just incase). Its like having a second opinion from a doctor.
Is it still possible to get to your task manager? Maybe one of your processes is causing a issue?
Does your PC have heating issues? When did you last clean your computer (as in getting the dust out)?

My laptop rarely ever makes any sound. Occasionly it gets warm if I'm doing a few things but for a second. My laptop is running fine right now. I don't get it. It started today when I was just watching a movie. Like half way through it stopped and it got all laggy. Like 10 mins later I got it to start again, watched it and it happened again like 20 mins. I don't really clean dust out of my computer but I dont even think I have any. I keep it somewhere it wont get dust anyways.
Edit: @ Soleron. I can hardly do anything when my laptop gets slow. Sometimes I can but usually it makes things worse.
