Hit alt ctrl del
Task manager comes up.
Click tab user name
This will sort your running processes.
Try to determine what the 'non system ' tasks are.
Those you are running, see if you can figure what these are.

Post back if not sure what something is.

msconfig can be used to shut some tasks down.
turn off what you understand.
Services can be enabled or disabled via admin ---> services.
What a service does is explained as you click on each service.
