Extreme problem - eMachines EL1850-01e Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

[JackDanielProvos]

I posted this question in another forum and so far no fix.. maybe you guys can help me.
Okay I am having some trouble and I was not sure where this thread fits in..

So here is my situation I got a eMachines EL1850-01e purchased for me and I only have ran it for 2 months before things started acting up.. it is now month 4 and tried tons of stuff to fix it. (Geek squad wants $200 to fix it.. the computer only cost $290!!)

Okay so here are the issues I am having.. When I run programs for example Mozilla Firefox I will be in the middle of working and bam locks up for a couple minutes. the java video plugin fails often. My computer is just all around slow!

I have microsoft security essentials, I have ran a registry cleaner, everything is really slow compared to the first day I got this. Also another note it locks up on me when I try and defrag the computer.

System specs
Windows 7
Intel Celeron proccessor 450 (2.0ghz+)
Intel GMA x4500 graphics card
500GB hard drive (not nearly full)
2gb DDR memory

I have very little money.. I was wondering if there is a free program that could fix this.. I ran Glarity Utilities and it worked super fast and great for about a week then started acting up again.

Thanks for the help.

Restore everything that that registry cleaner removed and get rid of it. Missing registry entries mercilessly butchered out by that will make your machine slower. Those are fake "errors".

If you can't restore the backup, try a restore point to restore an undamaged registry.

It appears that the majority of your system files are missing. The paths may have been deleted by the "cleaner", but your environment variables may be damaged, too.

Open regedit. Find:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment

Right-click and export it. Attach or paste the contents here.

The 64-bit version of Windows 7 and Windows Vista doesn't work well with HiJackThis 2.0.4 - which is why several of the O23 entries show "file missing" and why only a small number of running processes are displayed.

The eMachines EL1850-01e is a low-end desktop with cheap components, so hardware issues aren't uncommon.

You need to avoid cleaner/optimizer/booster/tuneup type programs, especially the ones that "clean" or "fix" the registry. They'll do nothing to improve speed, but what they can do is damage the Windows operating system and break some of your programs.
