It could be -
1) A virus
2) overheating issues. (try downloading hwmonitor and checking the temps if you can)
3) bad memory
4) other bad components
5) software conflicts
6) driver issues

Try defragging your Hard disk drive(storage). To do this, go to your start menu or hit the start button and type:
Defrag
There should be a program at the top of the list named drfg or something similar to 'defragger'. If you're having trouble with finding the program try a Google search on windows built-in defragger.
If you did find it select it and hit enter. You should see a window now with your drives(storage drives like the hard disk drive) listed. Select your disk (mainly your C:\ Drive) and defrag it.
***NOTE: This will take a long time depending on how fragmented your drive is. Leave your computer on overnight as it defrags the drive/disk. By the next morning, your PC should be running faster. If not, please have a look at Joshua's answer. Do a Google search on everything he listed. It'll help you get your PC back.
EDIT: Just because I'm bored out of my mind, I'll type up a virus removal tutorial in the "sources" section.
