According to the specifics on Samsung website, you can't upgrade RAM so easy because is LPDDR3 on soldered onboard. As for the hard drive, it's got eMMC so that means is also soldered to the board. Conclusion: 1. To make it faster, you can upgrade RAM only if you have experience into desoldering/ soldering this stuff. 2. To increse storage, you can upgrade the eMMC - same you need experience. But you can skip this and just get a C-port flash drive to increse you storage.

1. First of all switch off the device by pressing the Power button. 2. hold down Volume Up + Power button for about 10 seconds. 3. You can release held keys when you see the Android Robot. 4. If you see a menu, navigate with UP/DOWN keys and go for a factory reset. 2nd Method. 1. Enter the Recovery Mode hold down the Power key for a short while. 2. From the menu choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" by using Volume buttons to scroll and Power button to select options. 3. Tap "yes" to confirm the operation if you are certain you want to clear all your data. Use the Power button to accept option "reboot system now".

1st: Did you had this problem before changing the hard drive? 2nd: If the answer for the above question is NO, than 95% is a hard drive problem. So you need to change the hard drive.
