Sudden Slow Down in Performance

We have an old HP server which fell over the weekend. Since then it has run
incredibly slow.
We cannot open Control Panel and any attempt to install anything on it
fails.
It times out when we try to halt any services
There is nothing showing in Task Manager that is hogging the processor
The disks are not full

Has anyone got any suggestions before I take to it with an axe!

Cheers

Tony
