Then make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard. How old is the PSU?

Health scan on HDD came out ok? How old is the hard drive? It wouldn't surprise me to see it slowing down if its near full and is 5+ years old, from my experience, depending on brand. What is task manager saying that the disk is reading/writing to?
