POS laptop

If I use a docking station, everything's fine. But if I just plug the LAN line directly into the laptop, or go on wireless, the CPU shoots up to a constant 80-90% and everything becomes slow as molasses.

My "IT guy" says the OS must have gotten corrupt over time (3 years), but after finding out how much faster it is with a docking station, I'm thinking it must be a hardware issue.
