    It takes around 10 mins to shut it down. This is damn slow compared to 1-2 mins when the first time I bought it

    Check to see what services are running from startup with CCleaner. Sounds like you've got a good amount of background/tray apps going.

    I don't care how much stuff you got running in the background, 10 mins is way too long.

    Save whatever you think you need and reload that thing.
    If that doesn't fix it, then you have hardware problem.
