You can un check startup items ,delete some apps that might be causing problems. Check for any adware installed by looking in your browser extensions.

Often that is a sign that a third party application is causing difficulties. Yhe normal approach is to delete all third party applications and reinstall them in a systematic manner that will allow you to find the culprit.

Download and post an Etrecheck report. That may provide a clue:

Run an Apple Hardware Test:

Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.
