    Could be several things. Not enough RAM, do you have any meters or gauges to check real-time RAM usage? It is easy to upgrade RAM, assuming you aren't already maxed out on amount of RAM it will accommodate. You could have too many processes running at the same time. The laptop could be overheating. If it's slow and freezing up a lot, it could mean that the hard drive is ready to fail. That's the problem I'm having at the moment.

    My hard drive is on the verge of failure, bunch of bad sectors. I've been trying to make sure everything is backed up.
