Hi, I'm using a Lenovo G505 laptop with 8GB RAM and 500GB Hard Drive and an AMD A4-5000 APU at 1.50GHz running Windows 10 Pro x64
I recently did a clean install to windows 10 Pro, and ever since it just hasn't been running smooth at all, it's been having very long boot up and shut down speeds. it lags when trying to launch chrome or itunes. All drivers are fully up to date.
I thought it was a dodgy hard drive as I got it off my friend (he only got it a year ago) so I swapped out the 1TB it came with, with a 500GB one, but still no luck.
It also struggles to watch youtube videos, on every browser it just can't keep up and lags so much it's unwatchable. it lags when trying to change the video quality and when trying to go fullscreen and back. There is also a LOT of lag when scrolling through music on iTunes, I know it's never going to be amazing but i've never seen it this bad.
does anyone on here know about this issue and if there is a fix that will make it run silky smooth?
And one more little thing. I like to listen to music a lot and it's installed this Conexant smart audio piece of crap. it sucks, it has no base and the quality is dreadfull, every time I uninstall it, it comes back as soon as I reboot. Any help on how to get rid of this and possibly replace it with a better audio driver would be much appreciated.
Honestly, with Lenovo's reputation and the specs of this laptop, I was expecting a lot more.
Thanks!
