My computer is running very slowly on boot time. The process in task manager is at 100% and I have uninstalled but nothing. I have a laptop its a hp pavilion g series, model is g7 - 1270ca and product is a1v40ua#abc. The os on it is windows 10 and the hard drive is a Hitachi hts547575a9e384

Would this be my hdd failing ?

There is a nice hard drive testing utility called HDTune. It tests your hard drive block by block. It takes a while for a larger drive. You can run it from within Windows. Be sure to back up any important files to another drive or flash memory stick first.
