First thing I'd do is go run the housecall free online virus scan from
www.trendmicro.com, always good to have a second opinion. Next thing
I'd do is find out where the machine blows air out, and sucks it in;
with it turned off block the fan with a paperclip so you can't spin it
too fast and blow in through the output ports with a can of air, it
could be full of junk and overheating.

I have a HP laptop 32 bit windows seven with jaws v13 which is about six

However, the computer works well as long as I am doing something on it.
But, if I leave the computer for more than two hours or more without
accessing anything the computer becomes very sluggish to the point it
freezes and I have to do a hard reset with the power button. What I mean
by very sluggish is the arrow keys in a list of emails might take two
minutes or more to go to the next message, or alt tab might take a long
time to switch between programs. As for jaws the Braille display shows
information about a minute or more before I get speech. Having know
programs open and just sitting at the desktop and then trying to access
something doesn't resolve the sluggish issue. So, when I do the hard
reset and reboot the computer the computer will act normally. I am
typing this email with no issues but I bet if I went away from the
computer and tried to continue typing this email in about two hours it
would be a sluggish painstaking disaster. Let me list some things I have
tried and if anyone can add some additional task I should consider let
me know. Below is a list of stuff I have tried too resolve the issue.
1. Did a full (MSE) virus scan. No threats were detected.
2. Did a full malware scan. No issues were found.
3. Defrag showed know issues.
4. Checked disk for errors. Its set to correct any known issues after
the scan.
5. Did a system restore when the computer appeared to work normally.
this did not correct the problem.
6. Yelled and cursed at the computer and the dern thing just ignored me.
