Hi and apologies for being one of many who isn't able to understand the Logfile provided below. I hope that something below gives indications of why my pc is running slowly, and why having  more than one webpage or program has me taking a bath whilst waiting for one to close down. Bye the way my PC will not turn off, it says it is closing down but simply restarts. In anticipation of any assistance THANK YOU.
