Start with a full scan with an up to date anti virus program followed by a
spyware hunt:

Spyware/scumware/adware are causing numerous system problems. I recommend
you download and use the following programs and consider removing everything
these programs identify. Be aware that there are frequent updates to these
programs and you need to check for them before every use.

If you are running a Pentium cpu, it may be overheating.
Perhaps the cpu fan quit running.
