If not the CPU and such can slow to keep from burning out. I'd work that first with canned air and fresh heatsink compound.

I Installed a LG blu Ray burner/drive on my computer. Ever since the installation, it has become slow. What can be don?.
I have a HP Gaming desktop P6210F with 4 GB RAM (Initially had 8 GB Ram but since I receive Blue screen of death due to heating issues, I remove two 2 GB rams), 500 GB harddrive, AMD processor II X4 620 processor with 2.60 GHz speed, and windows 7 OS (64 Bit).
My computer takes a long time to shown down as well. I have tried to uninstall some programs as much as I can but beyond that it has become ridiculously slow.
