Hi! I've had my new PC since the very start of the year and it has ran like a dream until now. Suddenly it takes around 25% longer to startup, transferring files is slower, occasionally games will drop to like 1FPS, Windows Media Player will take about 15 seconds to play a file, software is crashing a LOT. I just don't know what to do. It's getting really irritating/frustrating now! Has anybody else had this issue or have any ideas to fix it?

1. You your system free from viruses?
2. You defragmented drives?
3. Is your PC not overheating - as far as I understand if CPU is getting overheated it will clock itself down
4. Any recent software installed that could have caused this?
5. Any recent hardware upgrade?
6. Any Windows updates? new drivers?
7. Maybe hard drive developed a bad sector or something went poo with partition table? Did you check for that?
8. Any errors in Event Viewer?

.. unfortunetly there is no simple answer to your question. Check the above first... then provide bit more info. No car mechanic will ever be able to help you if you just say that your car is slow, same applied to computers. More information you can provide better and quicker help you will get in the end.

If worst comes to worse, a fresh install of Windows will probably sort it out for you :)

Check Mishra's post though and give us more info :)
