Hello Recently my laptop ( Dell Inspiron i7-5500u , 8gb ddr3l , 500gb HDD , geforce 840m ) has been running extremely slow , as much as troubling to play a video on HD or opening basic apps like office etc. So , I tried out some solutions which came to my mind :
1) I replaced the HDD with a new SSD.
At first it seemed that it was doing better but when I jumped to YT and some games it had zero effect to what someone would expect (running league of legends at 15-25 fps !?)
Then I went to the next step where I :
2) Replaced the ram.( to 4gb tho).
Think this time the laptop was a bit more responsive ( or maybe it was my hallusination ) but the problem still remains and I can't play games or watch a video .
I should also mention that I have updated all my drivers and that prior to this ,I was playing mid - high tier games at 60+ fps.
If anyone has any idea to what would cause this malfunction I would love to hear your suggestions 🙂 Thank you very much.
