Maybe it's on power saver?

Too much junk in the trunk/ crap in your hard drive can also slow it down.

Lol. Happens when you've been looking at too much porn

Prob maybe because you recently installed something.
Prob because of a hardware malfunction, most likely a slot of RAM since laptops usually come with 2 and your laptop is still working.
Maybe your CPU is overheating.

A lot of possibilities, more info is needed.

Check if there are any programs using lots of CPU cycles or lots of memory, you may have a program hogging resources in the background.

give it a re-start, turn it on in safe mode (with netowkring), download spyware doctor and do a scan, and delete any junk that it shows up with.

Also, i'm assuming you know how to activate it.
