Your laptop is attracted to laptops of the same sex? Interesting.

Ok the first thing you need to do is get it properly diagnosed. It could be a multitude of different things, such as a virus, hard drive failure, processor failure, ect. since you have alreadcy tried the restore disk it most likely is not the operating system.
To get a dianostics test run on it, go to either staples or office max. Best buy will run a test too. Be warned that this will cost you some money, but it will be cheaper then gussing at the problem and redownloading things you do not need.
Another thing is that free virus protection will not tune up and fix your computer. It will just tell you its messed up. Try buying it, Norton is my favorite and I have it on every computer in my office. If you have friends get them to pitch in twenty dollars to have it on their computer as well, get two friends and twenty bucks and you have brilliant virus protection.
If it is a problem with your hard drive or fan ect, i would take it to Staples anyway to get it fixed. It will be cheaper then buying a new one or trying to fix it yourself and messing it up.
So my best advice is to take it to Staples and get it diagnosed, then buy Norton, then do most everything Staples tells you to do. Yes they are sales people, yes they will try to rip you off, but I think you would rather have a proper answer then delete a major windows file.

its a common mistake, but DON'T THINK EVERYTHING IS CAUSED BY VIRUSES.
1- if you have a nvidia card, update all your drivers (google has very good guides on updating drives, the most important drivers are the video card (gpu) and processor (cpu) drivers)
2- if that doesn't work
- its fried already
- fan is broken
- your fan is full off **** that doesn't belong there (get your vacuum cleaner and go over your fans,
this will probably be causing your problems if your drivers don't work)
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL GENTOO OR DELETE ANYTHING FROM YOUR WINDOWS FOLDER

You must open the computer and tell the elves inside to listen to you. it works every time.
