Hard to say if it was locked up / frozen. Or KB / Mouse worked after reboot. If this is a one time thing, no biggie, if frequent then chase down.
Clean up your system to get as much reasonable free space as you can. Defrag your disks once a month whether you need to or not  |

download windirstat and let it do an image of your hard drive usage. Bet you have plenty of temp files, and uneeded images / video. Just be sure to google what you can delete in windows before you do it.

Raven - do not delete the CSC sub folder. Not that you are likely running shared offline file synch from a server you do not have |

Also do diskcheck and disk cleanup |

Run the windirstat and tell me what file names are taking the most space.
Also, what model HDD do you have?

Are you using a wireless mouse/keyboard?
Change the batteries......or stop taking showers.
