Laptop is lagging?
Hey :) I have a Dell Inspiron 1564 on Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
I noticed about a month ago my laptop would start to lag when i had the most basic programmes open. I would be watching a film on my laptop and playing a game or browsing the internet and suddenly the sound would start crackling; the video would go into slow motion and my whole laptop would freeze up. The only way i could get rid of this was to restart my laptop which took about 10minutes just to switch off when its lagging.
I finally had enough of this so I restored it to when I first bought it from Dell (in july). I tried to not install so many programmes as I thought this might help. This is what I installed:
Steam
Sims 3 + expansions
Puzzle pirates
Left 4 dead 2
Google chrome
DivX player
Norton anti virus 2010
But a day into using my laptop after the restore; it decides to lag again! Im getting really fed up as I dont know what to do, I thought the restore would help but it hasnt and now I have no clue what to do.
I was installing microsoft word yesterday, I had no other programmes open and my CPU was at 100% and then my laptop just switched off, if anyone has any suggestions that will very helpful. Thanks
