When i have issues like this i start with Virus scanners and real time protection software. i Uninstall them, and then run something like CClearner to tidy up. and then see how things are for the next few days.
I found that MS Security Essenisals appears to slow down after a while, and then slow everything else down.
Web broswers take up loads of memory, looking at task manager now and i have 4 tabs open in Chrome but 12 'chrome.exe *32' Processes running takeing up most of my limited RAM.
Look at 'Task Manager' and arrange the columns in order of CPU useage, and target the top 5 programs.
