See this FAQ on optimizing OS X performance. One of the first things to check is free disk space. Generally, you want 10% or more to be free for systems usage. If you get much less than this, the system will slow to a crawl.

Thanks for the advise
But just had a warning message come up saying i had to turn off the computor imediatly
which i did now it wont come back on!!!!!!!
I have over 30% free space so dont think thats the problem.
Please Help panicing now as its not backed up!
See this Apple note on systems that won't power up. If those steps fail, you'll need to take it in for service.
