Desktop slow and won't log off
My friend's Dell desktop recently started slowing down and wouldn't log off. It just stays on the logging off screen even overnight. I can boot it into Windows 7, but it will only last for about 10 minutes before it becomes unusable. It will also boot in safe mode.
So far I have:
reset the cmos
ran hardware diagnostics that comes on the PC
used a clean boot
ran malwarebytes and mcaffe in safe mode
I cannot find any problems, but still it won't log off!

Ok, disk check comes out fine. Computer boots with a clean boot and will shut down if done immediately. If any program is launched, the computer almost stops running and if you can get to shutdown off the start button, it may take an hour to shut down.
Any ideas?

Ok, I suspect a hardware problem. The computer is going to be replaced.

My first inclination was that the hard drive. I had already tried check disk. Running it again.
