If you are using bloated OEM Windows Vista then you should format your pc and reinstall the windows again there will be some problem issue with it if you dont optimizations or take some frequent care. is your case get heated like does your laptop overheat a lot if that the issue i think you have a problem with your battery . If this is under warranty give it to the compaq guys they will fins the problem

This is a common problem of laptop cause a performance slowdown or slower recharge rate for the battery.An easy way to check if processor or gpu overheating is the culprit is to run the computer on battery and see if the same issues occur.
