Some checks I would do:

Overheating - fans - cooling vents blocked?
Max reg size reached?
Free space?
Virus Scan
Turn off antivirus
check, swap or reseat cables
pagefile corruption?
Verify that all NICs/switch ports are NOT set to Auto-Negotiate. Hard set
to 100/Full or 100/Half.
Power fluctuations?
defragment?
bad disk blocks?
SCSI terminater gone bad?
