The problem is likely the inferior HP Factory Preinstalled Win7 with all of the bloatware and duplicate utiltiies which have better versions built into Win7. These throttle Win7 native performance and cause endless issues.

At the minimum I'd Clean Up Factory Bloatware.
If this doesn't resolve performance problems, work through these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.
