Solved PC getting slow - does my Chkdsk scan results tell you anything?

The only other thing I did at that time was uncheck a couple of things in my start up folder. One was google updates and the other was something to do with hewlet packard. I have an HP printer and monitor, so maybe I shouldn't have unchecked that one, I don't know. But the problem wasn't occurring when I first logged on, it only froze up after I'd been on the computer for a while so I'm assuming it wasn't what I unchecked in start up.

I wouldn't worry about unchecking HP updates. As long as your printer is working, you don't need HP updates. Much of what HP puts on your computer is bloat, so I always uncheck HP updates.
