I had a simillar Problem with my computer, it started "lagging" around, windows explorer started crashing all the time. Even if I opened up Photoshop, after seconds it was freezed.
What I did was opening up my computer and started cleaning the dust of two years. I had to clean my computer for two hours, with screwdriver, toothbrush etc., it was worth!
But as always, cleaning ur computer from inside is a pricky affair. Take time and dont rush, be just careful.

When I cleaned my computer the first time from inside without any knowledge... i broke my computer, the motherboard was broken after cleaning.
