Shade_13 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 HeyI'm using this ASUS notebook (Intel T2250 1,73Ghz, 1gb RAM) and while i fully realize that it's not supposed to be a beast, it still has to work fine for browsing and such. But it doesnt, actually almost every performed action makes him zone out for a few seconds. Not like the system freezes dead, no, it's just like he takes his time doing it. Task manager doesnt show any significant pressure on either cpu or memory. See, i thought it was a software problem, malware or something, but the problem stays after a full OS reinstall and even hard disc change. The machine doesnt heat strong enough to cause such problems. Now, i know that making conclusions based on such a brief description isn't easy, so i just ask if anyone has encountered a similar problem or knows how to confirm a fault in hardware. If it were a desktop i'd play with its components, cant really do it with a notebook. Thanks for your timeP.S. while i was typing this, something else came up, like the TouchPad icon in the toolbar is supposed to track my touch, but instead it just shows as if i pressed somewhere in the middle and hold it that way, also when i want to type ', it doubles the letter like thiss. Those are trifles but it's kind of weird anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Have you tried playing around with the programs running, disable them one or two at a time and see if there is any change. Other than that, its probably just that your laptop is getting a bit older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the brainstorming. Probably it really is not durable enough anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shade_13 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 It's not that old to be discarded, maybe of year 2006, and not used like a mule. Cant say for sure cause it didnt belong to me, but for the last year it just rested in its bag. I learned it had a fall though, so yeah maybe physical damage. Just thought if it was that bad it wouldnt work at all, now itss like hiccups, you think it's gone then it comes back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
