disable powersaving battery mode when you want to play game. use the high performance battery mode. is your laptop's GPU an intel HD3000 or intel HD4000? Try swapping the position of the rams and i think you should also try and update your video cards.

To take advantage of the full 4gb of RAM you need to change to a 64bit version of Windows. I recommend Win7 64bit.
The CD ROM bay has to be taken out and serviced, you need a good techie for that or you can do it yourself.
I AV SOME1 dat can do it just give me d procedure thanks i av some1 to do the rest

You may be experiencing heat related issues. Clean out the fan first. Then you will need to tinker with your startup programs and also proper disinfect your system of viruses, adware, malware or spyware.

Please click start, computer and system properties. Can you see assessment rating that your system need to recalculate a score.
Run the assessment. For your cd drive look for adetwin on this forum, he/she would be of help

I personally use Avast free version and keep it updated and have never had any issue with viruses. I clean my fan with a handheld hair dryer set to cool. If you have access to a normal air blower that is better. I recommend that the laptop be opened so you can give it a thorough cleaning.

According to super user (2009) "Try to go to the Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management. In the Disk Management part, remove the drive letter for the raw partition. It should prevent Win7 from asking you to format the partition, while letting you mount the partition in TrueCrypt.If it doesn't work, you could try this suggestion, which is to use Autokey to automatically dismiss the messagebox when it appears"

On the other hand partition tool (2004) argued that you would be able to "Recover and get data back when encounter "Disk/drive is not formatted..." error" http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/disk-not-formatted.htm



thanks bro. I'll try it out...olready downloaded d partition tool software. I pray God make u bigger...

Hi Enet, you don't need to format your laptop if it's just only being slow. It is possible that your system has been infested with spyware/adware (although you don't seem to mention having problems with ads while browsing). First try using system restore and if it doesn't work, you can come back here and provide more information that can help diagnose your pc. You could also email me directly if you want us to speak.

Cheers.

there is no assesment rating on the system properties for me to recalculate and d ram is a single ram not double

I forgot sometimes the Bios is limited to how much RAM can be installed on a system. If you put a single ram module of 4gb and you can only see 2gb it means your system has been limited to only 2gb. 32bit OS can access 3gb of RAM max so if you don't see 3gb you know nothing you can do about it. Even if you switch to a 64bit OS you will not still see the full 4gb.

Have you tried rebooting the Pc?
Does it work after rebooting?



If it does , then m suspecting ur Sound Drivers malfunctioning. Just Disable and Enable the Driver. It will work.


You should be considering Updating Too.
