MAYBE you should set everything back to defaults
or at least make sure it's allowed to update itself
periodically just so it isn't trying to run ...say....the defrag program
automatically on a set schedule

This. Also it will show you how much juice each program/process is taking up.
What Antivirus program are you using? That could also be on Default and slowing things down.
There is a possibility that the hard drive wasn't the only thing that went in the crapper. It could have "taken other parts with it" but they were up to snuff by factory standards. Though this might be a stretch.
Make sure all your drivers are up to date as well. May be possible that there was a driver released to fix your issue concerning the hardware problem (the original hard drive could have been a model they don't use anymore and the replacement could give a compatibility problem).
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
