A couple of easy things to check - would be get a good process viewer application (or just use taskmanager) and find out what all is running in the background. Often, there are a hundred things running that don't need to be.
Process Explorer is quite useful and easy to use, and if you check the box for the CPU history ( view-select columns- process performance) you can leave it running and see what is hogging the processor time.
