Asus 1201n very slow on internet browsing and certain tasks
Hi,
I am new to the forum but hope I can get some guidance here.
I have an Asus eee pc 1201n. Originally it came installed with Win 7 x32 and it ran quite ok.
I have had a load of issues with it and it went back to Asus 3 times for diverse repairs. Since then, I have never been able to get it running normally again.
It is painfully slow browsing, especially on pages with loads of ads and I get messages of pages running long scripts all the time. Anything with flash running seems to load the cpu up to max straight away.
I have re-installed Windows several times and even after fresh installs I still get poor performance. I even tried browsing with the anti-virus turned off and there is no discernible difference in performance.
I had originally installed all the drivers from the Asus website but more recently in a bid to solve the problem have taken newer drivers for the NVidia ion graphics card. None of this has solved the problem.
Otherwise the computer is stable, takes normal time to load and in local tasks it is responsive. Having said that, it does not like running heavy graphics and has issues running the Windows Experience Index, normally crashing during the graphics performance check stages.
Could someone give me some guidance on how to troubleshoot the root of the problem as I have exhausted all my knowledge?
Thanks for reading my post.
