my sytem is suddenly slow

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing some frustrating performance issues with my Lenovo IdeaPad 310 running Windows 10. About 20 days ago, I noticed that Google Chrome started to become slow and freeze, especially when switching tabs, watching videos, or even just scrolling. I tried switching to Microsoft Edge and then to Firefox, but the problem persisted, leading me to believe it's not browser-specific but an issue with the laptop itself.

Here are the steps I've taken so far to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Ran RAM diagnostics - No issues found.
   
2. Performed full antivirus scans (both online and offline) - No threats detected.
   
3. Executed the sfc /scannow command - No integrity violations found.
   
4. Used Lenovo Diagnostics Tool - Tested drives, CPU, RAM, and GPU, all results came back fine.
   

Additionally, I've encountered a couple of strange incidents where:

• The laptop was working normally, but then the fan noise suddenly stopped, and the keyboard stopped responding (though the Num Lock light stayed on but couldn't be toggled). The mouse still worked, and I could open apps, but they would freeze immediately.
  
• During these incidents, the fan would suddenly start running very high, then slow down, and repeat this cycle until I forced the laptop to shut down. The shutdown process would freeze, requiring me to hold the power button for about 10 seconds to turn it off. After this, the laptop wouldn’t turn back on with a single press of the power button; I had to hold it for 10 seconds, let go, and then press it again to start the laptop.
  

Despite these efforts and observations, my laptop remains sluggish, especially when using any type of browser. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or can suggest any additional troubleshooting steps? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
