Okay so i have a laptop i got passed down from a relation and it must be at least 5-6 years old now and its having so horrible performance issues. It has a single core 1.86Ghz processor which is horrible by todays standards and i was just wondering could this be the cause of the problem? I can watch a youtube video for about 5mins max before the fps drops until it is unwatchable. It also has this problem where the keyboard cuts out for no reason and the track pad works maybe once a month which is completely random.

If it will fix the problem i will buy a new processor and maybe more ram just to do me until christmas and i can get a new laptop.

@Robert yeah i tryed disabling the hardware acceleration and it didnt make a difference :( ...i will try some of the cleaning software but i recently rebooted the laptop which deleted all the software and i reinstalled windows and that made no difference at all.

@CanadaRAM Ahh okay looks like ill be waiting until i get a new laptop :P Thanks for the links aswell i found the ram for the laptop i have :D
