My Laptop Compaq Presario CQ60 has Windows Vista Basic Edition installed 3 Gb RAM, 32 bit OS

It is at all times running at 100% capicity, with only 1.86GB physical memory usage (68%)

Processor - Sempron(tm) S1-42 2.10GHz
showing 61Gb used & 78Gb free

My Laptop is very slow & known to freeze & hang, close down, not allow explorer Windows & or Internet open or operate

What is my problem?
