Thanks. I trashed it and don’t remember but that is not my main point. The blue screens were indicating that I had a problem with something.

I googled the issues that I mentioned in the first post and what I read indicated that it was either a hardware problem, registry issue or virus.

The first thing I did was check the registry and I found the problems I have noted. After a suggestion here that it was probably hardware, I ran windows diagnostic and there were no errors found.

Mysteriously after that, the computer was back to normal speed. We’ll see what happens from here on out.

Thanks for all the replies.
