It may be slow because of adware/spyware/viruses.  Maybe some virus scans will help.  It could be slow because of hardware problems and the format may not help. I would check out both first.  Bootable CDs for checking for viruses are:

I would go into HP utilities by taping the F10 key and running the hard drive test and the memory test.

 

But if you insist, try this:
