Sounds like its time to reformat. You'll likely have to use the HP recovery which, unfortunately, is full of bloatware.

i am not much tech savy so can you please explain to me what do you mean by reformanting and HP Recovery by HP i meant Home Premium. My PC Is A Gateway and I Have No Recovery Disc. So How Do I Get It Back To Factory Settings If Need Be
