Hi, could someone help me please?

I have a SAMSUNG HD753LJ hard drive, it is running slow and the computer is locking up intermittently.

I'm guessing it is the hard drive at fault but I'm not sure. Also no amount of defragging is helping.

RAM

Motherboard
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P7H55D-M EVO (LGA1156) 44°C

Graphics

Any ideas?

Could corrupt files be causing this?
