...i have removed loads of programs from the start up list, uninstalled unused programs, cleaned my hard drive up and defraged it, done a virus scan a malware scan a spyware scan and cleaned up the results and reinstaled some programs to remove features i dont use.

What else can I do to get it running how it used too?

well the pictures and music will ultimately crash your computer if you have to much of them...

I would put them on a removable disk or external hard-drive... then your computer won't crash...

I'm not sure if they're cheap or not... I would do a check on the web...

you could always get a flash-drive (removable disk)?

This happened to my PC once recently and it stunk. You could try defragging first. However, you will probably have to just reformat the hard drive. Obviously, first save all of the files that you want to keep on a cd/memory stick/some other memory storage device. Then reformat away. .
