6gb ram ddr3l sd ram 

1tb hdd

crystaldiskinfo, see if your HDD is dying.

if it is, tell workplace IT that the HDD in your laptop is dying (and ask him to replace it with a SSD)

You probably have all three installs on your hard drive. You need to completely format your hard drive to GPT, which I would recommend doing this in another system to make sure everything is gone or you need to use the command prompt before installing windows to do this. 

 

Both ways can easily be found on the internet though with a quick google. 

 

One other possibilty is when you did get the last install to be successful windows just didn't download any of the laptop drivers which has happened to me on an old laptop when i reinstalled windows to it. You just need to google your make and model of laptop and find the page that provides all drivers needed to make your laptop function properly. Track-pad drivers are the ones that tend to get fucked over a lot to which can make the system feel slow.

hard drives spin. Laptops are thrown around in bags and are subject to lots of vibration and abuse. 

 

Yeah, no.

hmmm, interesting. That really does sound like there's something wrong with the hard drive. Do you have any other drives, like an older laptop drive that you could try installing it to to test? Even if crystal disk info doesn't say anything is wrong there still could be something wrong with it. I've had a drive crap out on me 6 months after purchase and it was a desktop drive that was never moved or touched until it broke. You can never really trust mechanical drives these days. Unless it's Hitachi or Samsung they just make good shit.
