A few days ago i turned on my computer and on start up a message read:
16 bit MS/DOS Subsystem
C:\windows\System32\scchk3.exe
The NTVDM has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:0f9c IP:010c OP:fe 7f 03 21.
Click 'Close' to terminate this application.

I have noticed that since the message started my computer has been running really slowly. It has a gig of RAM and its normally really fast. Is there anything i can do to fix it?
