    Checked with the dealer. They say that their solution would be sending the drive back to Crucial for further checking and a possible replacement unit.

    Well, guess i'll have to find a replacement drive. I'd think I will be archiving this drive then. Definitely do not want to put my data in risk.

    So I formatted the HDD instead of opting for a new one, reinstalled windows and it runs like a dream now. Pleasantly surprised at how zippy a machine this has become with a completely fresh install of windows, should tide me over well until my next laptop purchase. Thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions.

    Honestly i once also had a HP Elitebook from 201x and i swapped the stock 7200rpm drive to a larger capacity 5400rpm drive but once loaded the os, it was barely usable. i couldn't even open chrome without waiting for a minute and boot up took so long. Also cpu and ram usage was almost at max for some reason but after switching to a ssd, it booted up fast, no problems with loading applications, even some basic games (intel hd graphics) and the most important thing is that the cpu and ram usage hand gone back down to normal levels (10-20%for cpu and ~30%for ram)
     
    So try either a basic ssd, 128gb models are quite cheap nowadays, but just get one that you thing the brand is trustworthy or you can try a 7200rpm hdd but i would suggest a 128gb ssd since it makes daily usage of the computer so much better

    I've got a Kingston 128GB SSD in my desktop, I'll steal it and see if it makes any difference before going ahead and purchasing another drive. Getting by on that University student budget, you know how it is haha.

    Cheers, I'll update this thread again with the final outcome once I finally reach it haha. Thanks to everyone for the help, who knew upgrading a laptop would be more of a headache than building and maintaining my gaming rig ever was
