As the title says, the computer in the living room has been running really slow over the past month or so and I've only got round to looking at it recently (I don't use it as my main machine).
Basically, Windows may take anything up to 5 minutes to get to the login screen then once there clicking on a user can take 10 seconds or so to react, then actually logging in to the system takes a good minute or so.
- Virus scan with MSE. - All clear.
- Malwarebytes - clean.
- Windows memory test at boot - clean.
- HDTune - comes back with 1 damaged segment, but I've read that that wouldn't cause these issues.

I've tried rolling back the network driver, no luck.
The only thing I've yet to do is uninstall the GFX. But I can't see this causing the issues I'm currently having.
Any idea how to find out what's causing this?
