Wouldn't hurt to give your computer a 'tune up' of sorts:
The operating system and software degrade over time due to regular computer use. In fact, are some of the root causes of PC slowdown—including hard drive fragmentation, memory leaks, Windows Registry bloat, and more—can arise due to regular everyday activities like installing and uninstalling programs, device drivers, and Windows and software updates.
I would highly suggest you 'tune up' your computer by clearing the Flash, Java & Browser Caches, Clear the history/internet files, etc, check you start programs, and disable ones you don't need running, Defragging your system, etc.
After doing you 'tune up" always shut down your computer completely, for at least 30 seconds before you reboot!
Hope this helps!
