Acer Nitro 5 slowing down like no tomorrow

I bought this Acer Nitro 5 AN515-42-R9G7 (specs below) last April 7, 2019 and I am experiencing slowing down and its only been a month since I bought it. Here are some of the problems I am experiencing
1. When browsing, the cursor moves slow and when I type in the address bar the letters show up late.
2. When moving files from one place to another, I can only move one batch at a time, it doesn't allow me to move another batch if there is an ongoing move.
3. When troubleshooting windows update, it shows Service registration is missing or corrupt.
4. It went blue screen with a stop code of VIDEO TDR FAILURE and what failed is atikmpag.sys
I went back to where I bought this laptop and they said it only needed an update. After the update I tried to see if the problem is still happening and it does not anymore. Days passed and it is happening again. I hope you can help me identify what is the cause of this problem and is there anything I can do to fix it. I tried to return it but they said it only has 7 day replacement.
