Windows 7: Windows 7 running VERY slowly

Hi there;

I have Asuru laptop, Windows 7 64-bit with 8 GB RAM.

Just bought it 5 days ago. However, recently the booting up process has been horrendously slow, taking ten minutes for even the screen to refresh.

I loaded up the laptop in Safe Mode; this seemed to help somewhat. In an attempt to fix the issues, I went to Event Viewer. Was not able to access Event viewer or the information contained within it, was presented with the following message:

"Event Log Service is unavailable".

Please help! I have ran CHKDSK to little avail.

* It would be helpful if you would fill in your System Specs.

* There are many reasons why a PC " behaves" this way.

These annoying " gliches" may be caused by an overloaded hard drive, overworked CPU,
Malware,
running 2 AV 's,
unnecessary data,
Browser addons or you may have unnecessary programs running in the background etc....

* Did your computer come preloaded with Anti Virus Software?
If so what was it & how did you remove it?

* Please list ALL of your Current Security software.

* Have you used a Registry Cleaner/optimizer?

* Run SFC Option 2.

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

* Did your computer come preloaded with Anti Virus Software?
If so what was it & how did you remove it?

Yes, I can't remember the name of it: Platinum Technology Antivirus I think. That was preloaded on the computer.

I uninstalled it via control panel.

In its place, I have installed the trial version of Kasperskys Anti-Virus 2012.

* Have you used a Registry Cleaner/optimizer?

No.

* Run SFC Option 2.

The first time I ran it; the box finished and closed itself automatically. Any attempt by me to run it SFC Option 2 again causes the program to execute and close down so quick I can't even read the text.

I have uploaded CBS logs as well as various items of information from System Information. I was not sure what was needed/relevant, so grabbed what I could.

Also,

DirectX.exe Application error:

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process ID=0x1200*4609), Threead ID=0x1204 (4612).

Has appeared on the screen.

FGHRT has stopped working also.

In Post 1 you say your computer is only a few days old.

I would suggest you consider a Clean Install.

Clean Install Windows 7

Im sorry, I don't have an installation disk for the Windows 7 OS.

The OS was built into the laptop. I feel like I have a set of keys in my house, when I have locked myself out.

Can someone please advise me as to if it is possible to achieve a clean installation and revert back to factory settings, with the handicap of the OS already pre-installed and with no external media?
