Hardware problem?

[TomAndeson]

I can't shut down or restart my Laptop. Every time I do that, the windows OS will get extremely laggy at the point you can't do anything on it. Ex: You'll have to wait 30 min for the Laptop to fully boot. The only solution I know too fix this temporarily is to reformat. But I can't restart or shut down or it will happen again. And because of accidentally restarting it. I've already reformat it like 3 times so I gave up using it. Instead, I boot Ubuntu on a USB stick. The OS didn't damaged after I restart or Shut down.

 

So my question is what is the problem here? Motherboard's broken? Hard disk's broken? I was thinking that It's because of the Hard disk but I'm too afraid too buy new one. Please help and Thank You

you could use Crystal Disk Info to verify if the HDD is the trouble

 

this problem that you described is signs of HDD with a lot of bad sectors

Page file problem fix worked for me. Almost instant shutdown now used to take 10+ minutes to shutdown with an ssd....
