I bought a Lenovo Y510p laptop just over a year ago and it is now running painfully slow (virus scans take 24 hours, chrome takes 60-120 seconds to open, booting can take up to 10 minutes before any program is able to be opened). I suspect it may be a hardware issue, when I first bought the computer within 3 weeks it stopped being able to boot (full black screen, no response). I sent it to lenovo support, they returned it working again (with all the files wiped) saying there was a "hard drive issue" no details. The same issue happened again 2 months later, same solution. Since the computer has been slow but it wasn't until the last 2 months that the computer got painfully slow.
I ran ATTO Disk Benchmark on the Toshiba MQ01ABD100 1tb hard drive and the speeds were under half of what articles that reviewed the hard drive when it was released reported. Should I replace the hard drive? Or what other steps should I take in diagnosing the root of my computers issues? I have cut programs running to a minimum and issues persist. Apologies for my lack of expertise, looking for any and all help.
