Hi skhoon
I had exactly the SAME PROBLEM on my pc. up until 3 months ago. I can not say I have resolved it but since I did the following, the problem has not returned:-
I had nearly always used Adaware on my system for tracking cookies and things. When my system did grind to a virtual halt, I looked in the Task Manager. It showed the Adaware program (AAWService.exe) was listed as running several times in the "Process" column. Sometimes I had started Adaware program only once to do a manual scan and at other times I had not started it at all. Yet there it was in the Task Manager, listed several times!
I uninstalled Adaware >> computer restart>>re inastalled and it kept coming back as above. Finally what worked for me was that having uninstalled it one more time, I stayed away from downloading Adaware a few days during which I used other anti-cookies programs ( viz Malwarebytes and also SuperAntispyware - both free downloads).
After about two weeks I downloaded Adaware, installed it and now the problem is not there anymore. As I said this may not be a solution for your system. However for me the moral of my story is that there may a rogue program listed in the TaskManager causing grief.
