my laptop is a Gateway(I know,stupid choice) NE57003h. specs are i5-3337U with 8GB Ram and 500Gb memory. It used to work fine before,well,it had its problems but I could manage with it. The slowdown came really sudden,I was watching a youtube video and playing DOTA2 when the video started playing for 2 secs,stopping for 1 and the game started lagging really bad. Now it's reached the point where for me to even go to a website,it takes a while to load and sometimes just gives up and goes to about:blank instead. Now I can only do 1 thing at a time at a reasonable speed. Ive seen the other forum where it says I might have to do a system reset but i'd rather not be that desperate yet. Ive already scanned for viruses using avast and ive used malwarebytes,ccleaner,even updated to windows 10,but nothing.

Please help
