Laptop always lag

When I'm on my laptop, it frequently lag every 5 minute or so. I don't know why. You know how when you turn on your computer, it have some noises? Well when it lags, the noise I said gets louder. Then when lag stops, the noise goes back to normal. Help Please!

Sounds like a hard drive error. If your hard drive is faulting, then that is causing the latency.

Run chkdsk:

1. Right-click the Start button and select Explore (alternatively, hit WINDOWS key E on your keyboard).
   
2. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\ drive, then right-click the drive and select Properties
   
3. In the Properties window that pops up, click the Tools tab and then, under "Error-checking", click on the button that says Check Now...
   
4. In the Check disk options window that pops up, place a checkmark in both boxes:
   
   
   
   • Automatically fix file system errors
     
   • Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
     

Now click on Start

A new window will pop up saying, "Windows can't check the disk while it's in use".

Click Yes to schedule the disk check.

Now shut down (do NOT restart!) your computer, and then turn your computer back on with its power button.

When your computer turns on, you will see a black screen with white lettering, this is chkdsk running.

Let chkdsk run through its five stages. When the utility finishes, Windows will boot to the Desktop.
NOTE: Running chkdsk may take some time to complete. Please be patient and do NOT use the computer, press any keys, or try to stop the chkdsk scan once it has started!

Locate the chkdsk log and post it here:

1. Click on Start, then click Run...
   
2. Copy and paste the following text into the "Open:" box: eventvwr.msc /s
   NOTE there is a space between "eventvwr.msc" and "/s"!
   
3. Click OK (or hit Enter).
   
   This will bring up the Event Viewer window.
   

In the left panel, click on Application

The chkdsk log should be the first entry, with a source of Winlogon
NOTE: If it is not the first log, click on View, and then on Newest First: that should place the chkdsk log at the top of the list.

Click on the entry once.

Right-click on the entry and choose Properties

In the window that pops up, click on to copy the log.

Paste the log in a reply to this topic.

Uhhh...what if the log is in a different language instead of english...

Go to translate.google.com and change it to English.

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crash dumps are enabled and no valid crash dumps have been found on your computer. In case your computer does experience sudden reboots it is likely these are caused by malfunctioning hardware, power failure or a thermal issue. To troubleshoot a thermal issue, check the temperature using your BIOS setup program, check for dust in CPU and motherboard fans and if your computer is portable make sure it's located on a hard surface. Otherwise it's suggested you contact the support department of the manufacturer of your system or test your system with a memory test utility for further investigation.

Please download the latest version of Kaspersky GetSystemInfo (GSI) from Kaspersky and save it to your Desktop.

It fixed a little bit, but still a little lag when I watch a video. What it does is the sound is perfect, but the image is like slow appearance. And the sound of the computer running... I don't know if that is a problem or not.

4. Look for any entries with Yellow Exclamation marks or Red X's

In your next reply please include those results

Nope nothing that has Yellow Exclamation marks or Red X's

Reboot your computer, and when you see the first screen, press the Spacebar to access the boot manager. Once there, use the arrow key to go down to Windows Memory Diagnostic.

Please let the test run. When finished, let me know of the results.

Note: if the Spacebar does not activate the boot manager, then try again, except press the F8 key three times.

Uhh I didn't see the results and it didn't give me any log. But the laptop just shut down when it finished.

Ok. When you boot in to Vista, see if a popup appears at the bottom of your screen (right side). It will probably say something like "Windows Memory Diagnostic..."

Let me know if you see that.

don't you see "Windows Memory Diagnostic..." when you press space bar when the laptop is starting up?

Sorry..not what I mean.

When you boot in to the interface after logging on...you see the Desktop. Well, at the bottom right of the screen - a balloon should appear. It says something about Windows Memory Diagnostic.

• Open Event Viewer by clicking Start -> Run -> type eventvwr.msc and press ENTER.
  
• In the Event Viewer, click on System. You will see a list, and one of those should be about Windows Memory Diagnostic. Will you find that and tell me the information there.

Can't seem to find it...But I tried Windows Memory Diagnostic again and didn't see anything on the taskbar/bottom right corner it restarted the computer.

How is the computer running?

It fixed a little bit, but still a little lag when I watch a video. What it does is the sound is perfect, but the image is like slow appearance. And the sound of the computer running... I don't know if that is a problem or not.

For YouTube/Flash video buffering issues, right-click on every video you watch, and click Settings. Then, uncheck Enable Hardware Acceleration.

If you have YouTube.
While in your YouTube account, hover over your name in the top right hand corner and click Account.

Click Playback Setup on the left. Then, fill in the circle on the left of the following phrase: I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video.
Click Save Changes.

Did this help?

it's not just videos that I watch, but also gaming. There's many other lags for 5 minutes. And it the noise of computer running gets louder and stay loud till lag is gone. It's the computer... It just lags for everything, not just youtube...

I am consulting another advisor for help.

Sounds like Hard Drive is going bad or even the cpu fan might be bad and not cooling down the CPU properly:

Ok lets start by doing this first if possible:

1. Hit ctrl \ alt \ del on your keyboard to bring up your task manager.
2. Select the processes tab and maximize the window.
3. Hit Ctrl \ Prtscn on your keyboard then open up Microsoft Paint and then hit control v on your keyboard.
4. Save file as a jpg or gif then paste in a response to us.

Also if you can download

5. Donwload a program called speedfan and open the program and when the noise starts check to see if any fans are slowing down !

This will tell us what is actually running in the backround for the most part and if your cpu is running hot to make your programs run slower!

And how do I check if any fan is slowing down?

Donwload a program called speedfan

And do I also post the result here? If so, how would I get a log of it and post it here?

Download Speedfan
(The download link is in the first line of the second paragraph), and install it. Once it's installed, run the program and post here the information it shows. The information I want you to post is the stuff that is circled in the example picture I have attached.

whoa thats a quite umm "warm" cpu

so what to do next?

You might need to have the fan checked or better try buying a laptop cooling pad and use that, have you tried blowing AIR with a AIR CAN around your fan and cpu to clear any dust? Your running very hot! Your running at 125.6 F
