Laptop is very slow
Laptop is very slow
(OP)
I have a Toshiba laptop satellite c50-A i2012 with 2gb Nvidia GeForce 710m graphics card and 4gb RAM. It had windows 8 pro inbuilt. After some years, I changed windows to 10. After 2 months, laptop started to slow down. games started to get slower. After some days, graphics card drivers stopped working (showing error). Whenever I install driver software, it crashes. I gave it to a shop and they said like graphics card is dead. And he told me to never install its driver.
It started to slow down after some days. And I gave it to another technician (fact is I don't know him). He said that it had motherboard problems and needed chip level servicing. He changed windows into 7 and told it is repaired. I don't know what he says is true and have no money for giving lap to stores... Still my lap is very slow. It even need almost 10minutes to start Playing a movie. I ran a test and found out that the hard-disk is a bit weak too. Cpu usage is only 1%.
Please help me fix my laptop. I will give information on my laptop whatever is needed. Thanks.

But, I do agree with goombawaho. For the amount of money you might spend on "repairs", you could have a good amount of money for a new laptop.

Assuming you could find the right person to fix (which you have not so far), it could be repaired. But we are trying to tell you that spending money to repair an old, broken and slow laptop is a bad idea. It would better to invest in a new or used laptop.

And the second thing is that 4 gig for a windows 10 machine doesn't give you much available memory. I would upgrade to at lease 8 gig. It will make a real difference. If you machine is capable of holding more memory, an additional 4 gig of memory is very inexpensive from amazon.

What is it with someone joining up and then out of the blue start reviving old threads. Is it an "ego" thing or are they trying to put an ad in their signature or what? Happens periodically.

I had, at the time, a relatively powerful Sony Win7 for years. It became noisy and ponderous and took longer to start up and load apps. I doubled the RAM and opened it up to clear out the dust from air ducts in an attempt to improve cooling and lower the strain on the fan. But there was no significant increase in performance.
I bought a new i7 ThinkBook with an SSD and am delighted! It starts up as quickly as a mobile phone and is almost silent. Updates are downloaded and installed really quickly. So go for it, Alvin! You'll not regret it.
(Still figuring out the best way to dispose of the Sony!)

Oh, and it was me who red-flagged mariah1902's nonsense last December in this thread and in others.
Now can we let this thread have a decent funeral?

Not because it could repair the laptop, I wanted to do those in a computer. Now the laptop works fine, but I haven't installed my graphic drivers.. cuz last time i did it, windows crashed... The lap is currently running in windows 7...
