Hey guys my brother got a Dell Inspiron for christmas, brand new.
I always knew there was something wrong with it, it always freezes for a couple seconds when running every program, this isn't a ram issue because I checked the background processes. I'm about to Disk Defrag it but I don't think that will work because he's had this laptop since christmas and it's always been all glitchy and pausing / freezes every 10 seconds or so.
This problem gets worse when we play non - demanding games like Sims 2 on it, it freezes every few seconds, but runs fine when it's not freezing, plus everything is on low.
I'm pretty sure the specs are
Intel Pentium T4500 @ 2.30GHZ
Intel Chipset Express
2 GB RAM
Windows 7 32 Bit (I think)
Those specs are more than enough to run Sims 2 on low graphics, I know because we've ran it on a crappy old computer we have with 512mb ram and bad graphics card, it ran perfectly.
So, what would you guys suggest I do for this problem? It freezes often and I don't know what to do!
Should I reinstall windows on it?
