1st off do a full defrag, then if things are still slow, take a look at whats running by pressing ctrl+alt+Delete and checking the proccesses tab, if you click the colum headers for memory and cpu usage you will see whats using up all the resources, last but not least - do a scan for spyware with adaware or one of the dozens of spyware hunters out there to see if its spy/addware thats causing the lag.
if none of the above works, full format & reinstall time im afraid.

the make isnt going to mean a lot if the heatsinks/fans are full of dust, if this is the case then it will cause overheating and the cpu will throttle down to reduce temps

"getting down to my point his pc was fcuked a couple of days ago and i rebooted it for him"
What do you mean by that? doesn't reboot mean to restart the compuetr?
