Hi MommaKitty15,
Refer to this link http://dell.to/1zA1Zcr and run hardware diagnostics. If the test passes, check for the performance in safe mode. If the laptop is working fine in safe mode, I would recommend you to create a new user profile and test if the system works fine without any issues. You may get back with results and I'll be glad to assist you.
