    I would first run an sfc scan to check any problem with system files
    Start>type cmd>right click then run as administrator>type sfc /scannow>enter

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Would also run some virus scans

    Need a bit more information than this. Did you recently delete any folders or files? Which ones?

    Did you haven any recent hardware changes? What?

    And most importantly, what are your system specs?
