[nlavigne16]

I have a HP - OMEN by HP Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 - 1TB Hard Drive and i've owned it for about 9 months and it has ran amazing until recently it has started to run slow and i get not responding errors constantly on web browsers adn microsoft word and ect. My storage is not even clsoe to full and i have firewalls and all that anti-virus stuff. I shut down my PC everynight and never have it run/sleep for long periods of time. I havent been able to find any answers on this.
