7 is light years better than Windows 8.

That was going to be my next suggestion, but if the mother board and PSU are a dust plug that wont last long either. I find that with 99% of the machines that I work on, getting proper cooling and thermal seating on the CPU and GPU makes all the difference for reliable operation and most of them have never been cleaned out ever. Then from there if the issues have not resolved themselves I look at hard drive issues because somehow they affect everything else no matter how unrelated they seem. Then as a final solution or to gain performance that the machine never had I turn to hardware. Start with a clean cool motherboard/CPU/GPU/PSU and any other problems will become easier to find.

Yeah cleaning out dust and pet hair makes all the difference in the world on computers. I break my laptop open every 6 months to blow out the lint and other stuff from occluding my heat sink. I really does make a HUGE difference between clear and not clear.

98% of the time these problems are software related.
