It's really weird honestly.

When I first got this computer, it used to run perfect. I never had a lag problem before. But here lately, I've noticed that the whole thing lags when I'm running video or playing online games.

I frequent websites like DeviantArt, FurAffinity and InkBunny (art sites) and most animations on there will have trouble loading the video or game. I have difficulty scrolling down, because every time I click the down button it takes a good minute or so for it to recognize the command. Some animations, especially looped ones, won't play at all.

With youtube, the videos will load fine, but the rest of the page lags soo bad.

I've ran virus scan after virus scan with no threats.

I use google chrome, so flash updates itself automatically. Plus I've set it up to where i have to update shockwave manually (I had two codes and one was corrupt and keeping videos from playing)

I've made sure java is up to date.

Also, this computer is an asus x53u that runs windows 7 and I believe it has Radeon HD graphics.

Any ideas what is wrong?

I've tried almost everything I could and nothing seems to work.

First, the only thing I have downloaded to my computer is chrome. I've even deleted all the pictures and music off of it in an attempt to speed it up.

And when I say "games" I mean little online flash games like http://browse.deviantart.com/flash/games/?q=pregfu... not big games like Guild Wars. I have a desktop that I use for games like that. My husband purchased the laptop because he uses the desktop so much.

So I literally have nothing on my laptop.

And even my old Windows ME processed flash games better than this new computer does.
