There are several possibilities, but you haven't given enough information for 
anyone to help without asking a multitude of questions, such as:  
- has the unit always been slow?
- what hardware or software changes were made at about the time it started acting 
slowly?
- when is it slow?  always?  when just on internet?  if not always slow, what programs 
are being used when it is slow?
- have you examined in Task Manager what processes are running?
- have you checked what items are starting-up automatically when you start the computer?
- have you recently run anti-viral and  anti-malware scans?
- what do you mean by "clear the cache"?  deleting temporary internet files?  something 
else?
