There is a possibility is that model has a SATA hard drive, then most likely the drive is about to fail. I see discussion on that model line as being capable of a M.2 SSD, also.  See this thread:

If you look thru that thread and yours does not have the M.2 drive, then most likely the hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced.  Since it is on the verge of failing, it might be a good thing to backup your data, then clone the old drive to the new, however, that might not work with a bad drive, but worth a try.  If the cloning does not work, then Windows will need to be reinstalled.

Another reason could be it is infected with malware.
